Sandra uses colored beads to create necklaces. The ratio of white beads to red beads in each necklace is 8:1. If Sandra uses 8 red beads, how many white beads does she use?

Sandra uses a ratio of 8:1 for white beads to red beads. This means for every 1 red bead, there are 8 white beads.

Since Sandra uses 8 red beads, the number of white beads she uses can be calculated as:

\[
8 \times 8 = 64
\]

Thus, Sandra uses 64 white beads.
