Tessa and her grandmother are decorating Tessa's Quinceanera dress using two types of beads. They plan to use a total of 900 beads arranged in the pattern shown. How many of each type of bead do they need

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that they need 750 white beads and 150 red beads.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that the pattern states the following:

  • [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] of the beads are white.
  • [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of the pattern is red.

Hence:

[tex]\frac{5}{6} \times 900 = 750[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{6} \times 900 = 150[/tex]

They need 750 white beads and 150 red beads.
