Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding cost of cloth per meter

Given: The cost of 2 1/3 m cloth is Rs. 75 1/4

To find: The cost of cloth per meter

Solution:

2 1/3 m = 2 + 1/3 m = (6 + 1)/3 m = 7/3 m

Rs. 75 1/4 = Rs. 75 + 1/4 = Rs. (300 + 1)/4 = Rs. 301/4

The cost of 7/3 m cloth is Rs. 301/4

Then the cost of cloth per meter is

= total cost / total cloth

= Rs. (301/4) / (7/3)

= Rs. 301/4 * 3/7

= Rs. 43/4 * 3

= Rs. 129/4

= Rs. 32 1/4

Answer: the cost of 2 1/3 m cloth is Rs. 75 1/4, then the cost of cloth per meter is Rs. 32 1/4 .
