Question

Carlotta is making blue and orange necklaces in several lengths.

For each necklace, her ratio of blue beads to orange beads is 3 to 2.

How many orange beads will Carlotta need for a necklace of 60 beads?

Answer 1

ratio is 3 blue to 2 orange

3+2 = 5 beads total per ratio

60 / 5 = 12 sets of 5 are needed

12 x 2 orange = 24 orange beads will be needed
