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 scarf that can be made out of the piece

Answer 1

total area is 9 m^2
area of each piece = 9/16 m^2
 area of square is side^2
let side be x
x^2=9/16
x = 3/4 m
length of scarf in cm is 3/4 x 100 
                                     75 cm
