Question

A tailor has 37.5 metres of cloth and he has to make 8 pieces out of a metre of cloth. How many pieces can he make out of half of the cloth he has ?

Answer 1

Cloth on hand is 37.5 m
Half of the cloth is 37.5 m/2 = 18.75 m
No of pieces in 1 m = 8 pieces
No of pieces in 18.75 * 8 = 150 pieces

Hope this helps!
