ANSWER

80 links

EXPLANATION

To find how many links would be in the necklace, we have to divide the total length of the necklace, 30 inches, by the length of each link, 3/8 inch,

[tex]30\div\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Use the KCF method:

• K,eep the first fraction

,

• C,hange the division sign into a multiplication sign

,

• F,lip the second fraction,

[tex]30\div\frac{3}{8}=30\times\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

30 and 3 can be simplified - 30 is 3 times 10,

[tex]30\times\frac{8}{3}=10\times8=80[/tex]

Hence, the necklace would have 80 links.
