To visualize the problem, we can break it down. Mary made a circular necklace with numbered beads. The question states that there are six beads between the 4th bead and the 11th bead both on the top and bottom of the necklace.
-
Understanding the Arrangement:
- The 4th bead is a fixed position.
- Counting clockwise to the 11th bead, we can imagine the following positions:
- 4th bead (start)
- 5th bead (1 bead away)
- 6th bead (2 beads away)
- 7th bead (3 beads away)
- 8th bead (4 beads away)
- 9th bead (5 beads away)
- 10th bead (6 beads away)
- 11th bead (7 beads away)
Thus, going clockwise from the 4th bead to the 11th bead involves passing through 6 beads.
-
Going Counterclockwise (Top and Bottom):
- If we consider going counterclockwise, we'll find that there are also six beads between the 4th bead and the 11th bead.
-
Count & Visualization:
- Both clockwise and counterclockwise, you will find exactly 6 beads between position 4 and position 11.
In conclusion, the diagram that matches the problem should display a circular arrangement of beads where:
- There are 6 beads in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions between the 4th and 11th beads.
If you provide specific diagrams, I can help you identify the most accurate one matching your description of the circular necklace.
