1. Problem Description

The problem states that the ratio of rings to bracelets is 2:32:3, and the ratio of bracelets to necklaces is 2:62:6. We are given that Rosa has 10 rings and asked to find the number of necklaces she has.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the number of bracelets. We know the ratio of rings to bracelets is 2:32:3. Let rr be the number of rings and bb be the number of bracelets. Then we have
rb=23\frac{r}{b} = \frac{2}{3}
We are given that r=10r=10, so we can substitute this into the equation:
10b=23\frac{10}{b} = \frac{2}{3}
Cross-multiplying gives 2b=302b = 30, so b=302=15b = \frac{30}{2} = 15.
Now, we need to find the number of necklaces. We know the ratio of bracelets to necklaces is 2:62:6. Let nn be the number of necklaces. Then we have
bn=26\frac{b}{n} = \frac{2}{6}
We know that b=15b=15, so we can substitute this into the equation:
15n=26\frac{15}{n} = \frac{2}{6}
Cross-multiplying gives 2n=15×6=902n = 15 \times 6 = 90, so n=902=45n = \frac{90}{2} = 45.

3. Final Answer

Rosa has 45 necklaces.
