Let's break down the problem step-by-step:
1. Total Number of Necklaces: Ms. Jackson made a total of 42 necklaces.
2. Total Number of Days: She made these necklaces over a period of 6 days.
3. Equal Distribution: It is mentioned that she made the same number of necklaces each day.
To find how many necklaces she made each day, we need to divide the total number of necklaces by the number of days.
So, we perform the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of necklaces per day} = \frac{\text{Total necklaces}}{\text{Total days}} = \frac{42}{6} \][/tex]
When we carry out this division, we get:
[tex]\[ \frac{42}{6} = 7 \][/tex]
This result tells us that Ms. Jackson made 7 necklaces each day.
Now, let’s evaluate the given options:
A. Ms. Jackson only made 7 necklaces.
- This statement is incorrect, as she made a total of 42 necklaces, not just 7.
B. Ms. Jackson made 7 necklaces each day.
- This statement is correct, as our calculation shows that she made 7 necklaces per day.
C. Ms. Jackson spent 7 days making necklaces.
- This statement is incorrect, as she actually spent 6 days making the necklaces, not 7.
Therefore, the correct interpretation of the number 7 in this context is:
B. Ms. Jackson made 7 necklaces each day.
