32 2/5 ÷ 2 7/10 let's turn above into improper fractions: 32 2/5 ----> 162/5 2 7/10 -----> 27/10 so, 162/5 ÷ 27/10 -------> 162/5 * 10/27 = 12 necklaces

Answer:

12 necklaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total quantity of beads she has = [tex]32\frac{2}{5}[/tex] ounces,

Also, the quantity of beads needed for each necklace = [tex]2\frac{7}{10}[/tex] ounces,

Thus, the number of necklaces can be made

[tex]=\frac{\text{total quantity of beads}}{\text{quantity of beads needed for each necklace}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{32\frac{2}{5}}{2\frac{7}{10}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{162/5}{27/10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1620}{135}[/tex]

[tex]=12[/tex]
