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 .
