Michael puts 3 beads next to each other on a peice of string to make a bracelet. Each bead has a width of 5/6 inch. Which expression and fraction both represent the total width of the three beads?

Expression: 3 x 5/6

fraction: 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the number of beads (3) by the width of each bead (5/6 inch)

Mathematically speaking:

3 x 5/6 (this is the expression)

Solving the expression:

3 x 5/6 = (3x5) / 6 = 15/6 = 5/2 inches (fraction)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer: 2 1/2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael puts 3 beads next to each other which are on a peice of string to make a bracelet. A bead has a width of 5/6 inch. Total width of the three beads will be the number of beads multiplied by the width of each bead. This will be:

= 3 * 5/6

= 15/6

= 2 1/2

The total width of the bead are 2 1/2 inches
