Answer:
Sphere=48 beads
Cylinder=24 beads
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cylinder beads be y and since she has twice as many sphere beads, the sphere beads will be 2y
The sum of sphere and cylinder beads will be y+2y=3y
This sum is equivalent to the total number given as 72
Therefore, equating 3y to be equal to 72 we obtain the equation
3y=72
Dividing by 3 on both sides we obtain that
Y=72/3=24 beads for cylinder
Since the sphere is 2y then 2*24=48
To confirm, it is evident that 48+24=72
Also, the number 48 is double/twice the number 24
