Eva makes bracelets from beads. Each bracelet consists of solid, opaque, and trasparent beads in the ratio 5:3:1. One style of bracelet has 36 beads. How many of each type of bead did Eva use to make this bracelet?

Number of Solid beads = 26.66

 

Number of Opaque beads = 16

 

Number of transparent beads = 5.33

 

 

 

 

Total number of beads = 48

 

Ratio of components = 5 : 3 : 1

 

Ratio of solid beads \(= {5 \over 5 + 3 + 1} = \)\( {5 \over 9}\frac{}{}\)

 


Ratio of opaque beads = \({3\over 9}\frac{}{}\)

 

Ratio of transparent = \( {1\over 9}\frac{}{}\)

 

: Number of Solid beads used = 48 *  \({5 \over 9}\frac{}{}\)\( {80\over 3}\frac{}{}\)= 26.66

 

Number of opaque beads used = 48 * \( {3{} \over 9}\frac{}{}\)= 16

 

Number of transparent beads used = 48 * \( {1 \over 9}\frac{}{}\)=\({16 \over 3}\frac{}{}\)= 5.33
