Respuesta :

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jeweler has 36 inches of silver chain.

She needs 5 times that much to make some necklaces i.e [tex]5\times 36=180 inches[/tex]

She needs 3 times that much amount to make some bracelets i.e. [tex]3\times 36=108 inches[/tex]

Length of a silver chain =36 inches

Total chain required[tex]=\frac{180+108}{36}=\frac{288}{36}=8[/tex]

Therefore he needs 8 chains to make necklace and bracelets
