Question

5 A jewelry box has 10
items. Of those, half
are necklaces. Two-fifths of
the others are bracelets.
The rest are rings. How
many rings are there?

Answer 1

Half of 10 is 5 so there’s 5 necklaces
2/5 of 10= 2 so there’s 2 bracelets
5+2 =7
10-7= 3
There are 3 rings

Answer 2

Answer:

1 ring

Step-by-step explanation:

10 items total

Half are necklaces = 5 necklaces out of the total 10 items

2/5 of the other items are bracelets = 2/5*10 = 4 necklaces total 10 items

This leaves only the rings, and 5 + 4 = 9, so 10 - 9 = 1 ring out of the total 10 items.
