Question

janel makes bracelets. she uses 48 beads for each bracelet she makes and has 600 beads. how many bracelets can she make? explain.
janel can make □ bracelets. the quotient of □ and remainder of □ mean that janel can make □ bracelets but does not have enough beads for □ bracelets.
(type whole numbers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide total beads by beads per bracelet

To find the number of bracelets, we divide the total number of beads (600) by the number of beads per bracelet (48). So we calculate \( 600 \div 48 \).

Step2: Perform the division

When we divide 600 by 48, we get a quotient of 12 and a remainder of 24. This is because \( 48\times12 = 576 \) and \( 600 - 576=24 \). The quotient tells us the number of complete bracelets we can make, and the remainder tells us the number of beads left, which is not enough for another bracelet.

Answer:

Janel can make \(\boldsymbol{12}\) bracelets. The quotient of \(\boldsymbol{600\div48 = 12}\) and remainder of \(\boldsymbol{24}\) mean that Janel can make \(\boldsymbol{12}\) bracelets but does not have enough beads for \(\boldsymbol{1}\) more bracelet.
