Question

deepa purchased three pieces of clothes measuring 2 1/4m,3 5/6 m and 1 1/2 m. Find the total length of cloth purchased by Deepa.​

Answer 1

Answer:

7 8/12

Step-by-step explanation:

length of first piece of cloth = 2 1/4m

length of second piece of cloth = 3 5/6m

length of third piece of cloth = 1 1/2 m

total length=( 2 1/4 + 3 5/6 + 1 1/2) m

= ( 9/4 + 23/6 + 3/2)m

= L.C.M=12

= (9*3/4*3 + 23*2/6*2 + 3*6/2*6)m

=(27/12 + 46/12 + 18/12)m

=( 27+46+18/12)m

= 92/12m = 7 8/12
