$\Huge{\mathfrak{\red{\underline{\green{Solution}}}}}$

Given:-

• Pieces of $\sf\frac{12}{5}$metres can be cut from $\sf\frac{31}{5}$metres long cloth.

To Find:-

• How many pieces of $\sf\frac{12}{5}$metres can be cut from $\sf\frac{31}{5}$metres long cloth ?

Solution:-

Let's understand

Here,pieces of 31/5 metres cloth and we have to find pieces of cloth from 12/5 metres.

Pieces of cloth = ( $\sf\frac{31}{5}$metres - $\sf\frac{12}{5}$metres)

$\sf \implies \: pieces \: of \: cloth = ( \frac{31}{5} - \frac{12}{5} ) metres\\ \\ \sf \implies \:pieces \: of \: cloth = \frac{31 - 12}{5} metres \\ \\ \sf \implies \: pieces \: of \: cloth = \frac{19}{5} metres$

Hence, Pieces of cloth = $\sf\frac{19}{5}$metres.
