    First, let us use X as the amount of beads used to make the necklace.

    If it take 5 times as many beads used in a necklace to make a bracelet, then the amount of beads used to make a bracelet would we 5X.

    Next, we can put it into an equation: 5X + X = 192 because the number of beads in a necklace and in a bracelet totals up to 192.

    5X + X = 6X, so the equation then becomes 6X = 192.

    192 divided by 6 equals 32, so X = 32 and 32 beads are needed to make a necklace.

    Your answer is 32 beads.

    If you need to find how many beads are in the bracelet, then multiply 5 by 32 (because the amount of beads is 5X), which is 160 beads in a bracelet.
