Question

Cosmo makes 6 bracelets. Each of Cosmo’s bracelets has 5 beads. Carla makes 5 bracelets. Each of Carla’s bracelets has 2 beads. How many beads do they use in all?

• A. $40$
• B. $35$
• C. $30$
• D. $45$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $40$

• Number of bracelets Cosmo makes = 6
• Number of beads in each = 5
• Number of beads Cosmo used = 6 times 5 = 6 ✕ 5 = 30

• Number of bracelets Carla makes = 5
• Number of beads in each = 2
• Number of beads Carla used = 5 times 2

= 5 ✕ 2 = 10

• Total number of beads used = 30 + 10 = 40
• Hence, option B is correct.
