A crafts man wants to make a huge rectangular carpet whose length and breadth are 15m and 900 cm respectively by joining together small carpet patches whose length and breadth are 5 m and 3 m respectively.How many such small carpet patches are required to make huge the rectangular carpet?
Answers
Answer: 9 patches
Step-by-step explanation: First we need to find area of the carpet
Given- length is 15m
Breadth is 900cm = 9m
Area of rectangle is l x b
=15 x 9
=135m
Therefore the area of the carpet is 135m
Now we will find the area of patches
Length is 5m
Breadth is 3m
Area of rectangle is l x b
= 5 x 3
= 15m
We have the area of patches = 15m
Area of carpet = 135m
No. Of patches will fit
= area of carpet/ area of patch
= 135 / 15
= 9
Therefore 9 patches will fit.
Answer:9 small carpets
Step-by-step explanation:
Length (carpet that is to be made): 15m
Breadth (carpet that is to be made): 900cm = 9m
Length (of the small carpet): 5m
Breadth (of the small carpet): 3m
Area(carpet that is to be made): Length x Breadth
=15m x 9m
=135m
Area(Of the small carpet): Length x Breadth
=5m x 3m
=15m
∴No. Of small carpets needed to make one big carpet of area 135m= 135m/15m
= 9 small carpets
