The question:
How many necklaces can she makes is pointless.
She will make 5 necklaces.
64 beads / 5 necklace = 12.8 beads / one necklace
There cannot be 12.8 beads in one necklace.
There can be 12 beads in one necklace.
5 necklaces ∙ 12 beads / necklace = 60 beads
She will need 60 beads.
64 - 60 = 4 beads will be left over
