Question

Rachna made a necklace of 32 shells. How many such necklaces can be made using 192 shells?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 necklaces

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the provided information in the given question, we have :

• Total number of shells = 192 shells

• Number of shells used to make one necklace = 32 shells

We are asked to calculate how many such necklaces can be made using 192 shells.

★ Clarification :

Here, we'll form a linear equation and by solving that equation we'll find the number of necklaces that can be made using 192 shells. In order to solve equation, we'll be using transposition method.

• This is the method used to solve a linear equation having variables and constants.

• In this method, we transpose the values from R.H.S to L.H.S and vice-versa and changes its sign while transposing to find the value of the unknown value.

★ Explication of steps :

Let us assume the number of necklaces can be made using 192 shells as "x".

Since, one necklace requires 32 shells. So, the number of of necklaces can be made using 192 shells will require (32 × Number of necklaces).

⇒ Number of shells required for one necklace × Number of necklaces = Total number of shells

⇒ 32 × x = 192

⇒ x = $\sf { \cancel { \dfrac{192}{32} }}$

⇒ x = 6

⇒ Number of necklaces = 6

$\therefore$ 6 necklaces can be made using 192 shells.
