Read and answer

Read the story first.

Fifty-two beadsMia had fifty-two beads for the stall and wanted four bracelets, all the same. Ben sorted the beads into five bags of ten and two loose beads. Four bracelets meant four piles, so he shared the tens first: one bag of ten went to each pile. One bag was left over, and it could not be cut into four. So Pip untied the ribbon and ten beads spilled out. One ten trades down for ten ones, which is the trade in reverse. Now there were twelve loose ones to share, one for each pile, round and round.
