Question

4.) Ariel makes her own jewelry to sell at the Street Fair. She can make 12 bracelets in 4 hours. If she works for 5 hours every Thursday for 4 Thursdays, how many bracelets will she make?​

Answer 1

60bracelets

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find her rate. This is the number of jewelries she makes per unit of time;

Rate =
`(number of jewelries)/(time taken )`

Number of jewelries = 12 bracelets

time = 4hrs

Input the parameters:

Rate =
`(12)/(4)` = 3bracelets/hr

She works 5hrs for 4 Thursdays;

Number of hours worked = 5 x 4 = 20hrs

Now, working at a rate of 3bracelets/hr for 20hrs, the number of bracelets she will produce is given as;

Number of bracelets = number of hours x rate

= 20 x 3

= 60bracelets
