Tomika uses 619 inches of wire to make a necklace and 313 inches of wire to make a bracelet. How many necklace and bracelet sets can she make if she uses 2813 inches of wire in all? Enter your answer in the box.
Accepted Solution
A:
1 necklace requires 619 in. of wire 1 bracelet requires 313 in. of wire The total length of wire = 2813.
Let x = the number of necklaces made. Let y = the number of bracelets made.
The total amount of wire used is 2813 in., therefore 619x + 313y = 2813 y = (2813 -619x)/313 y = 8.9872 - 1.9976x
Create a table of x versus y. x: 0 1 2 3 4 y: 9 7 5 3 1
