Answer:
On combining the beads they can make 20 bracelets.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of beads Samantha has = 54 beads
Number of beads Amanda has = 2 x( Number of beads Samantha has)
= 2 x 54 = 108 beads
The total number of beads Amanda and Samantha has
= 54 beads + 108 beads
= 162 beads
Number of beads required to make 1 bracelet = 8 beads
Now, [tex]\textrm{The number of bracelets made} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of beads they both have}}{\textrm{Beads required to make 1 bracelet}}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{162}{8} = 20.25[/tex]≈ 20
or, the total number of bracelets they can make is 20.
Hence, on combining the beads they can make 20 bracelets .
