Answer:
(b+20)/(4)

Explanation:

Given: Liam has a bag of b beads. He gives 20 beads to his sister.

Total beads = b+20

Number of necklaces made = 4

If he uses equal amount of beads in each necklace , the number of beads in each necklace = (Total beads) ÷ (Number of necklaces made)

=
((b+20))/(4)

Hence, an expression that represents the number of beads on each necklace. =
(b+20)/(4)
