Question

A tailor stitched 1/9 of cloth on first day and 5/8 of remaining on second day. He is still left with 1 cm cloth. Find the total length of cloth

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ,

let the total length of the cloth be x metres

therefore, according to given data ,

x/div9+5x/div8+1 = x = 8x+45x+72/72 ,53x +72 = 72x

72 =72x-53x=19x, x = 72/19

hence the total length of the cloth = 72/19 metres

Answer 2

Answer:

let the total length of the cloth be x metres

therefore, according to given data ,

x/div9+5x/div8+1 = x = 8x+45x+72/72 ,53x +72 = 72x

72 =72x-53x=19x, x = 72/19

hence the total length of the cloth = 72/19 metres
