Answer 1

Dear Student,

● Answer -

White fabric : Coloured fabric = 5

● Explanation -

Given that -

White fabric = 1.2 cm = 120 mm

Coloured fabric = 24 mm

Ratio of amount of white fabric to coloured fabric is given as -

White fabric : Coloured fabric = 120 / 24

White fabric : Coloured fabric = 5

Hence, white fabric to coloured fabric is present in 5:1 ratio.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
