4️⃣ 28​

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of one square handkerchief

= s×s = 60×60 = 3600cm²

$= \frac{3600}{10000} = \frac{36}{100} m$

Area of rectangular cloth

= L×B = 8.4×1.2 =

$10.08 m\: or \: \frac{1008}{100} m$

No. of handkerchiefs made by rectangular cloth

=

$\frac{1008}{100} \div \frac{36}{100} \\ \\ \frac{1008}{100} \times \frac{100}{36} = 28$
