Question

How many pieces of length 2 2/5 meters can be cut from 6 1/5 meters of cloth?

Answer 1

Answer:

31/12 or  2 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

total length of= 6 1/5 =31/5

each piece should = 2 2/5=12/5

no. of such piece = (31/5) / (12/5)

                             = 31/12

                              = 2 7/12

Answer 2

Answer:

2 pieces of length $2\frac{2}{5}$  meters can be cut from $6\frac{1}{5}$  meters of cloth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Total length of cloth =  $6\frac{1}{5}$  meters .

             Length of each piece of cloth to be cut out =  $2\frac{2}{5}$  meters .

To Find :- Number of pieces of length $2\frac{2}{5}$  meters can be cut from $6\frac{1}{5}$  meters of cloth.

Solution :-

Total length = $6\frac{1}{5}$ = 31/5

Length of each piece = $2\frac{2}{5}$ = 12/5

Now, we will find the multiple of 12 which is less than 31.

We know that 12 × 2 = 24.

So, 2 pieces of length 12/5 can be cut from 31/5 meters of cloth.

Remaining cloth = 31/5 - 12/5 - 12/5

                           = 31/5 - 24/5

                           = 7/5

Therefore, 2 pieces of length $2\frac{2}{5}$  meters can be cut from $6\frac{1}{5}$  meters of cloth.
