Molly uses 192 beads to make a bracelet and a necklace. it takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than t does to make a bracelet. how many beads are used to make the necklace?

Solve for the bracelet first. x represents number of beads for bracelet So it would be number of beads for the bracelet + number of beads for necklace (5x) and they both equal 192 x + 5x = 192 Then you would add the x and 5x.<br />6x = 192 Now all you have to do is divide by 6 on both sides. 6× ÷ 6 = 192 ÷ 6 You know have the number of beads it takes for a bracelet. x = 32 to get the necklace all you need to do is multiply it by 5 because you need 5 times more for the necklace. 32 × 5 total beads needed is 160. 160 x+5x=192 6×=192 6x÷6=192÷6 x=32 necklace needs 32x5 beads per necklace is 160

Ithink the answer should be b.
