Erica makes necklaces from beads. Each necklace consists of blue, white and green beads in the ratio of 6 : 4: 1 One necklace needs to have 44 beads. How many of each type of bead is needed to make the necklace?

For one Necklace you would need...

24 blue beads.

16 white beads.

4 green beads.

Ratio: 24: 16: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you quadruple the amount of beads from the original amount (6 : 4: 1), the total beads for that necklace will be 44.

Step 1: 6 x 4 = 24 (amount of blue beads in necklace).

Step 2: 4 x 4 = 16 (amount of white beads in necklace).

Step 3: 1 x 4 = 4 (amount of green beads in necklace).

Now check to see if the total of all types of beads sum up to 44:

Step 4: 24 + 16 + 4 = 44

-

There is your

You need 24 blue beads, 16 white beads, and 4 green beads to have a total sum of 44 beads in that one necklace.
