Question

A tailor used 16 m 80 cm of cloth to make 8
trousers of equal size. What length of cloth
did he use to make each?​

Answer 1

Total length of cloth = 1680cm

For 8 trousers cloth used = 1680 cm

For 1 trouser cloth used = 1680/8

= 210 cm

Answer 2

1m=100cm

16*100+80=1680

=1680

to make 8 trousers of equal size

1680/8=210

Each trouser will be of 210cm
