Answer:
The cost of 6 3/7 m cloth ≅ Rs 151.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of the cloth per meter = Rs 23 3/5 = (5 x 23 + 3)/5 = 118/5
The cost of 6 3/7 meters = ?
6 3/7 = (7 x 6 + 3)/7 = 45/7
This can be solved by cross multiplication method;
If the merchant sells the cloth of 1 m for Rs 118/5, for how much will he sell 45/7 meters?
1 m — 118/5
45/7 m — ?
(45/7 x 118/5) / 1 = 45/7 x 118/5 ≅ 9 x 16.85 ≅ 151.65 Rs
The cost of 6 3/7 m cloth ≅ Rs 151.65
