Question

To make a beaded necklace, Kris needs 88 beads. If Kris has 1,056 beads, how many necklaces can she make?

Answer 1

Hint: A ratio compares values as a ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. Here, to find the number of necklaces, we need to consider the given data that there are a total 1,056 beads, and to make a beaded necklace, Kris needs 88 beads, hence with respect to the given data we need to find the number of necklaces.

Complete step by step solution:
The ratio should exist between the quantities of the same kind. While comparing two things, the units should be similar. There should be significant order of terms and the comparison of two ratios can be performed, if the ratios are equivalent like the fractions. Hence, in this way we need to solve the question, comparing with the given data.
Kris has a total 1056 beads.
To make one beaded necklace, Kris needs 88 beads.
So, Kris can make \[\dfrac{{1056}}{{88}}\] necklaces i.e., divide total value/manufacturing value as:
\[ = \dfrac{{1056}}{{88}}\]
\[ = 12\] necklaces
So, the correct answer is “12”.

Note: The key point to solve the given question, is that we need to consider the given data and compare it to find the asked data such that the ratio should exist between the quantities of the same kind and while comparing two things, the units should be similar. There should be significant order of terms and the comparison of two ratios can be performed, if the ratios are equivalent like the fractions. Hence, in this way we need to solve the question, comparing with the given data.
