Answer 1

Answer: You can make more bracelets than necklaces. ✅

Explanation:

You have 2.88 meters of copper wire and 5.85 meters of aluminum wire.

With 2.88 meters of copper wire, you can make 12 bracelets because each bracelet needs 0.24 meters of copper wire.

With 5.85 meters of aluminum wire, you can make 9 necklaces because each necklace needs 0.65 meters of aluminum wire.

So you can make 12 bracelets and 9 necklaces.

Therefore you can make more bracelets than necklaces.
