Answer 1

$\huge \cal{ \color{red}{A} \blue{N} \pink{S} \color{lime}{W} \purple{E} \color{navy} R}$

Cost of 1 m cloth=$42 \frac{1}{2}$

$\rightarrow 42\frac{1}{2} = \frac{42 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{85}{5}$ $5 \frac{3}{5}$

$\rightarrow5 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{28}{3}$

m cloth= $\frac{28}{3}$

m cloth=

$\frac{85}{5} \times \frac{28}{3} = \frac{2380}{15} = 158 \frac{10}{15}$

Hope it helps you...

Answer 2

Answer:

• REQUIRED ANSWER :)

Cost of 1 metre cloth =

$42 \times \frac{1}{2}$

$: \implies42 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{42 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{85}{5} = 5 \times \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ : \implies5 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{28}{3}$

Meter cloth = 28/3

Now,

$: \implies \frac{85}{5} \times \frac{28}{3} = \frac{2380}{15} = 158 \times \frac{10}{15}$
