What is the greatest common factor of 32 and 48?
16
Is there more information given? If not, there are multiple answers to this problem. Hey, even if she wanted, she could make 80 1-in necklaces (even though it won't fit anyone... xD ) or even 1 80-in necklaces (one size fits all :P ). There has to be some sort of minimum length for the necklace.
The question asks for the longest necklace. You're right, Ashley, the longest will be 16 inches long.
