Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nancy's beads be 'x' in number

So, Paula has (840-x) beads

3/4 of Nancy's beads = 1/2 of Paula's beads

3/4 × x = 1/2 × (840-x)

3x/4 = (840-x)/2

After cross multiplication,

6x = 3360 -4x

10x = 3360

x = 336

Thus, Nancy has 336 beads and Paula has 504 (840-336) beads.
