Cindy wants to make 15 beaten rings for a craft show she needs 60 beats for each ring she has 852 beads does Cindy have enough beats to make 15 complete ring s explain your answer include all work used to determine if she has enough bead

Answer 1

To determine if Cindy has enough beads to make 15 complete rings, we need to calculate the total number of beads required for all the rings and then compare that to the number of beads she has.

1. Calculate the number of beads needed for one ring:

   • Each ring requires 60 beads.

2. Calculate the total number of beads needed for 15 rings: \[ \text{Total beads needed} = \text{Number of rings} \times \text{Beads per ring} \] \[ \text{Total beads needed} = 15 \text{ rings} \times 60 \text{ beads/ring} \] \[ \text{Total beads needed} = 900 \text{ beads} \]

3. Compare the total beads needed with the number of beads Cindy has:

   • Cindy has 852 beads.

4. Determine if she has enough beads:

   • We need to check if 852 beads are greater than or equal to 900 beads. \[ 852 < 900 \]

Conclusion

Cindy does not have enough beads to make 15 complete rings. She needs 900 beads but only has 852 beads. Therefore, she is short by: \[ 900 - 852 = 48 \text{ beads} \]

So, Cindy needs an additional 48 beads to complete all 15 rings.
