_________________________

ANSWER:

• The cost of one meter of cloth is 19 rupees.

GIVEN:

• The cost of 4 1/2 meters of cloth is Rs. 85 1/2.

TO FIND:

• find the cost of one meter cloth?

SOLUTION:

Let us assume one meter cloth as x .

FORMULA TO FIND:

$\boxed{\sf \purple{Product \: of \: means = Product \: of \: extremes }}$

SOLVING BY APPLYING THE FORMULA:

$\rightarrow \sf 4 \dfrac{1}{2} : 85 \dfrac{1}{2} : : 1 : x$

$\rightarrow \sf 4 \dfrac{1}{2} \times x = 85 \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1$

$\rightarrow \sf 4 \dfrac{1}{2}x = 85 \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\rightarrow \sf x = 85 \dfrac{1}{2} \div 4 \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\rightarrow \sf x = 19$

Hence ,The cost of 1 meter of cloth is Rs. 19.
