HEY BUD GOOD NIGHT!MARK ME AS THE BRAINLIEST!

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, The cost of 1 meter of cloth = ₹ [42(1/2)] = (85/2) Therefore, the cost of [5(3/5)] meters of cloth = (28/5) Then, = (85/2) × (28/5) = (85 × 28) / (2 × 5) On simplifying we get, = (17 × 14) / (1 × 1) = ₹ 238 Hence, the cost of [5(3/5)] meters of cloth is ₹ 238.

42 whole 1/2= ( 2×42+1) / 2= 85/2

5 whole 3/5 = (5×5+3) / 5= 28 /5

rate= 85/2 rupees per mitre

=> cost of 28/5 m cloth = length ×rate

= (28/5) × ( 85/2)

= (28×85) / 10

= 238 rupees
