Answer 2

Five necklaces can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sea-shells Kannu used to make one necklace = 17

Total number of seashells available = 100

Thus, to find the number of necklaces that would be made by 100 seashells we can divide 100 by 17.

$\frac{100}{17} = 5.88$

On division, a whole number is not obtained as the answer.

Thus, Kannu would not be able to complete the sixth necklace.

Hence, a total of five necklaces can be made, and some seashells (15) would be left as extra.
