Chetan makes a necklace for his sister. Twelve beads take up 5 inches of string. How many beads fit on 1 foot of string?
Answer:
28 beads
Step-by-step explanation:
12 beads = 5 inches
1 bead = 5/12 inches
12 inches = 1 foot
12 inches = 5 inches 2.4
2.4 12 beads = 28.8 beads
Since you can't have a part of a bead, you round down to the nearest whole number : 28 beads.
