Answer 1

Given,

15m of cloth cost = Rs. 1940

To find,

How many metres of cloth can be purchased for Rs. 4656

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we can use the normal arithmetic method.

In Rs. 1940 we get = 15m cloth

In Rs. 1 we get = 15/1940 m cloth

In Rs. 4656 we get = 15×4656/1940 =36 m cloth

(Division and multiplication works are done according to the direct or inverse relationship.)

Hence, we will get 36m of cloth in Rs. 4656
