1. Find the difference in the number of necklaces made by Su Lin and Tina on Tuesday.

Difference on Tuesday = 30−11=1930 - 11 = 19

2. Find the total difference in the number of necklaces made over the 2 days.

Total difference = 17+19=3617 + 19 = 36
Su Lin made 3636 more necklaces than Tina in total.

3. Express the number of necklaces each made in units based on the given fraction.

Tina made 14\frac{1}{4} of the total.
This means Tina made 11 unit and the total is 44 units.
Su Lin made: 4−1=34 - 1 = 3 units.
Difference in units = 3−1=23 - 1 = 2 units.

4. Find the value of 1 unit.

2 units=362 \text{ units} = 36
1 unit=36÷2=181 \text{ unit} = 36 \div 2 = 18

5. Calculate the total number of necklaces Su Lin made.

Su Lin made 33 units.
3×18=543 \times 18 = 54
