Question

A shirt requires 2.7 m of cloth. How many such shirts can be made from a piece of

cloth of 48.6 m length? IN STEP BY STEP​

Answer 1

Answer:

18 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A shirt required 2.7 m of cloth.

To find the no. of shirts that can be made.

Length of cloth we have = 48.6 m

Let the no. of shirts be x

Now, we know that,

We need to find an eqn satisfying the given condition.

1 shirt = 2.7 m cloth

=> x shirts = (2.7x) m

Now, this will be equal to the length of cloth we have.

=> 2.7x = 48.6

Solving the eqn, we get,

=> 2.7x = 2.7 × 18

=> x = (2.7 × 18)/2.7

=> x = 18

Hence, the no. of required shirts is 18.
