Question

Devika has a square piece of cloth of area 9 m2 and she wants to make
16 square-shaped scarves of equal size out of it. What should possibly be the
length of the side of the scarf that can be made out of this piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.75 m or 75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of piece of cloth = 9 m^2

Area of one scarf if 16 scarves are cut

= 9/16 m^2

Length of each side

= √(9/16) m

= √9 / √16 m

= 3/4 m

= 0.75 m

= 75 cm (Ans.)
