Question

How many meter of carpet 75 cm wide will be required to cover a floor 27 m by 16 m ?
I get 576m answer but 600 m is given in the answer key

Answer 1

Heya mate, Here is ur answer

Area of the floor= l×b

l(length)=27 m

B(breadth)=16 m

Area of floor=27×16 m^2

breadth of carpet= 75 cm

=75/100

=0.75 m

Let the length of the carpet be x.

Area of carpet=l×b

=x×0.75

=0.75x m^2

A/Q

Area of floor = Area of carpet

27×16=0.75 x

$\frac{27 \times 16}{0.75} = x$


$\frac{432}{0.75} = x$


$576 = x$


So, length of carpet=576 m
