Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
number of shirts which can be stitched from 3 1/5 m cloth = 1 shirt
=> number of shirts which can be stitched from 16/5 m cloth = 1 shirt
=> number of shirts which can be stitched from ( 16/5 ) x ( 5/16 ) m cloth = 1 x 5/16 shirt [ multiply by 5/16 on both sides]
=> number of shirts which can be stitched from 1 m cloth = 5/16 shirt
=> number of shirts which can be stitched from 1 x ( 25 3/5 ) m cloth = ( 5/16) x ( 25 3/5 ) shirts [ multiply by 25 3/5 on both sides ]
=> number of shirts which can be stitched from 25 3/5 m cloth =
( 5/16 ) x (25 3/5) shirts
= 5/16 x 128/5
= 128/16
= 8
therefore 8 shirts can be stitched from 25 3/5 m cloth
