Emmett Vasquez · Answer 1

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bracelet varies directly with the amount of time she spends

If number of bracelet = n

Amount of time=t

It means,

n=kt

5 bracelet in three hours

5=k3

k=5/3

To make 15 bracelet,

n=kt

15=5/3*t

15=5/3t

t=15:5/3

=15*3/5

=45/5

t=9 hours

Kay will spend 9 hours making 15 bracelet
