Question

Yolanda has a box that contains 8 3/4 dozen beads she uses 3 1/4 dozen beads for a necklace and 1 3/4 dozen beads for a bracelet how many beads are left in the box

Answer 1

To find out how many beads are left in the box, we first need to calculate how many beads Yolanda used in total for the necklace and bracelet.

For the necklace:
3 1/4 dozen = 3.25 dozen beads

For the bracelet:
1 3/4 dozen = 1.75 dozen beads

Total beads used:
3.25 + 1.75 = 5 dozen beads

Now, we can subtract the total beads used from the total number of beads Yolanda had in the box:
8 3/4 dozen - 5 dozen = 3 3/4 dozen

So, Yolanda has 3 3/4 dozen beads left in the box.
