Alice is using three different colors of beads to make necklaces. she has 48 blue beads, 56 pink beads, and 32 white beads. she wants to use the same number of pink, same number of blue, and same number of white beads on each necklace. what is the greatest number of necklaces she can make if she uses all of the beads? a)16 b)12 c)8 d)4

36 is the final answer! : )

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
