Hi!
To figure out n, the number of necklaces, we can set up an equation.
[tex]102 = 17n[/tex]
This means that 17 beads per necklace should have a total of 102 beads.
Now, we can solve this equation by isolating the variable.
What we have to do is divide both sides by [tex]17[/tex].
[tex]102/17 = 17n/17[/tex]
[tex]6 = n[/tex]
Therefore, with 102 beads Juanita can made 6 necklaces with 17 beads per necklace.
