To find out how many necklaces Nancy can make, we first need to calculate the total number of beads she has.
She has:
- 1,288 beads in the extra-large bag
- 784 beads in the other bag
Now, let's add these amounts together:
\[
1,288 + 784 = 2,072
\]
Next, we know Nancy uses 56 beads to make one necklace. To find out how many necklaces she can make, we divide the total number of beads by the number of beads per necklace:
\[
\frac{2,072}{56} = 37
\]
Therefore, Nancy can make **37 necklaces**.
The answer is **B. 37**.
