Hey there!

To solve for the amount of beads that weigh 72 grams, you can set up this proportion where x represents the number of beads weighing 72 grams:
[tex] \frac{6}{48} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{72} [/tex]

Now, cross multiply and simplify:
6*72=48*x
432=48x

Finally, solve for x:
432=48x
x=9

Therefore, 9 beads will weigh 72 grams.

Hope this helps and I hope you have a marvelous day! :)
