Question

An industrial loom weaves 0.128 m of cloth every second. How many seconds will it take for the loom to weave 16m of cloth?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 125 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step = if an industrial loom weaves 0.128 m of cloth in every second(1)

And how many seconds it will take to weave 16  m of cloth

Let the number of seconds be y to weave 16 m of cloth

That is,

0.128(128/1000) = 1 second

16 = y

Now, follow cross multiplication

128/1000  X y = 16 X 1

16 X 1000/128 = y

1000/8 = y

125 seconds = y(The number of seconds to weave 16 m of cloth)
