Ann had a bag of glass beads. She used half of the beads to make a necklace.
She and her sister then use 1/6 and 1/7 of the beads respectively to make two
bracelets. If there are 16 glass beads left, find the original number of glass beads.

Thanks!

If the original number of glass beads is Y,
Y X (1 - 1/2 - 1/6 - 1/7) = 16 .............
Y = 84
So, the original number of glass beads is 84.

16 divide 1/6 divide 1/7 divide 1/2
= 16 x 6/1 x 7/1 x 2/1
= 96/1 x 7/1 x 2/1
= 671/1 x 2/1
= 1344
:. The original no. of glass beads is 1344.
