Answer:Kyle's claim is not reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with black beads is 5/8.

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with white beads is 1/4.

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with black beads and white beads is would be

1/4 + 5/8 = 7/8 = 0.875

Kyle thought that he will cover 6/12 of the string with beads. 6/12 = 0.5

It means that he covered more than 6/12. Kyle's claim was wrong
