Question

Cloth is being sold at rupees 4 2 whole 1/2 per metre. What is the cost of 5 whole 3/5 metres of this cloth

Answer 1

Answer:

238 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

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
