The correct answer is addition and multiplication.
The equation b/8 + 25 = 500 represents the operations needed to solve the problem. In this equation, b represents the number of beads Niel starts with.
To solve the equation, you would first perform the addition: b/8 + 25. This represents the number of beads Niel has after making 8 identical necklaces and buying 25 more beads.
Then, you would multiply this sum by 8: 8 * (b/8 + 25). This represents the total number of beads Niel ends up with, which is 500.
So, the equation is b/8 + 25 = 500, and the operations needed to solve it are addition and multiplication.
Niel has a bucket of beads. He uses them to make 8 identical necklaces and then buys 25 beads at the store. He ends up with a total of 500 beads. How many did he start with? Identify the operations needed to solve this problem using the equation b over 8 + 25 = 500
