Chapter 6.7, Problem 27SR

To determine

To find: The number of bags required to make 56 bracelets, when 4 bags are needed to make 14 bracelets.

Answer to Problem 27SR

Total bags required to make 56 bracelets are 16 bags.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: 

It is required 4 bags to make 14 bracelets.

Concept used:

It is used unitary method, in which it is first calculated total bags required to make one bracelet by dividing 4 by 14 and then this ratio is multiplied by 56 to get total required bags.

Calculation:

As 14 bracelets need $=4$ bags

So, 1 bracelet needs $=\frac{4}{14}$ bags

And 56 bracelets need $=\frac{4\times 56}{14}=4\times 4=16$ bags

Based on above calculation, total 16 bags are needed to make 56 bracelets.
