Question

A shirt requires 2 m 75 cm of cloth to be stitched. How many shirts can be made

with 30 m of cloth
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution: Cloth required to stitch one shirt= 2 m 15cm = 2 x 100 cm + 15cm = 215 cm

Length of cloth = 40 m = 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm

Number of shirts can be stitched = 4000/215 = 18.6

But we cannot consider number of shirts in decimals.

Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm (1 m 30 cm) cloth will remain.
