To solve Sandra's problem step-by-step, let's break down the division process:
1. Sandra starts with 50 beads and wants to distribute them evenly among 6 rings.
2. When we divide 50 by 6, we determine how many beads each ring will get.
- Performing the division: [tex]\( 50 \div 6 \)[/tex] gives us 8 as the quotient. This means that each ring will have 8 beads.
3. To confirm, if each of the 6 rings gets 8 beads, we calculate the total number of beads used:
[tex]\[ 6 \times 8 = 48 \][/tex]
4. Sandra initially had 50 beads, so after using 48 beads to make 6 rings, we subtract the beads used from the total beads:
[tex]\[ 50 - 48 = 2 \][/tex]
5. Thus, the remainder is 2 beads.
The remainder in this context represents the number of beads left after Sandra allocates 8 beads to each of the 6 rings. These 2 beads cannot be used to make another complete ring.
Given the scenario and the choices:
- (A) The number of extra rings Sandra will be able to make.
- (B) The number of beads that will be left after Sandra makes all the rings.
The correct answer is:
(B) The number of beads that will be left after Sandra makes all the rings.
