He then makes 4 necklaces with the same of beads on each necklace using all of the remaining beads.
To Find :
Write an expression that represents the number of beads on each necklace.
Solution :
Number of necklace remains after giving 20 beads to his sister is ( b - 20 ).
Number of beads on each necklace using all of the remaining beads is :
Hence, this is the required solution.
If you look at the figure, triangles XVW and ZYW are similar. So, you can use ratio and proportion to solve this problem. Notice that there are tick marks on th other two sides of the bigger triangles. That indicates that the like signs of ticks are equal. For example, that means XZ = ZW and that XW = 2XZ = 2ZW.
24.4/YZ = XW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2ZW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2
Solving for YZ,
<em>YZ = 12.2</em>
24.4/YZ = XW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2ZW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2
Solving for YZ,
<em>YZ = 12.2</em>
