    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
