Question

Find the cost of 5 3/4 m of cloth at rupees 42 2/3 per meter.​

Answer 1

The cost of 1 meter of cloth = ₹ [42(1/2)] = (85/2) Therefore, the cost of [5(3/5)] meters of cloth = (28/5) Then, = (85/2) × (28/5) = (85 × 28) / (2 × 5) On simplifying we get, = (17 × 14) / (1 × 1) = ₹ 238 Hence, the cost of [5(3/5)] meters of cloth is ₹ 238.cloth-is-being-sold-at-42-1-2-per-meter-what-is-the-cost-of-5-3-5-meters-of-this-cloth?show=742322#a742322
