Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12 inch = 1 ft.
12 inch can be be written as (5 + 5 + 2) inch.
It is given that, 5 inches require for 12 beads.
Hence, (12 + 12) = 24 beads will take up (5 + 5) = 10 inches.
There are 2 inches more to fill.
5 inches required for 12 beads.
1 inch required for [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] beads.
2 inches will be required for [tex]\frac{24}{5}[/tex] beads.
[tex]\frac{24}{5} = 4.8[/tex].
Hence, there will 24 + 4 = 28 beads in total. (Only 4 is added instead of 4.8 because, the number can not be in fraction and there is no space for 29 beads in total).
