Marylou needs 125 jewels for each pair of jeans.

Answer 2

You know that Marylou buys a package of 500 jewels to decorate 4 different pairs of jeans.

If Marylou uses the same number of jewels on each pair of jeans, then you should divide the whole amount of jewels (500) by the number of jeans (4).

500:4=125.

Answer: Marylou will use 125 jewels for each par of jeans.
