Question 1147107: A student makes necklaces and bracelets to sell.
The student makes packages that each contain 2 necklaces and 3 bracelets in them. The student sells some of these packages. To find the total number of necklaces and bracelets in the packages that are sol, the student wrote 28+42.
Rewrite the student's expression to show how many packages containing 2 necklaces and 3 bracelets are sold. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 28 + 42 is the total number of necklaces and the total number of bracelets sold.
since there are 2 necklaces per package and 3 bracelets per package, you get:
28/2 = 14 and 42/3 = 14.
this means that 14 packages were sold.
14 * 2 necklaces per package = 28 necklaces
14 * 3 bracelets per package = 42 bracelets.
