Question

a tailor stitched 1/9 of the cloth on 1st day 5/8 remaining on the second day. he is still left with 1 metre cloth. find the total length of cloth

Answer 1

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
$\div$
