Cloth required to stitch one shirt = 2 m 25 cm = 2 x 100 cm + 25 cm = 225 cm Length of cloth = 42m = 42 x 100 cm = 4200 cm Number of shirts can be stitched = 4200 / 225 Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 150 cm (1 m 50 cm) cloth will remain

Answer 2

Answer:-

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

Explanation:-

$\sf \: Cloth \: required \: to \: stitch \: one \: shirt : - \\ \sf \implies \: 2 m 15 cm \\ \sf \implies \:2 \times 100 + 15 \\ \sf \implies \:215cm$

$\sf \: Length \: of \: cloth :- \\ \sf \implies \: 40m \\ \sf \implies \:40 \times 100 \\ \sf \implies \:4000cm$

$\sf \: No. \: of \: shirts \: that \: can \: be \: stitched \: are : - \\ \sf \implies \: \frac{4000}{215} \\ \sf \implies \:18 \\ \sf (Remainder = 130)$

Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm cloth will remain.
