Question

How much cloth will be used in making 6 shirts,if each required 9/4m of cloth,allowing 1/8m for wast in cutting and finishing in each shirt.

Answer 1

Solution:

Given :

• Each shirt required 9/4m of cloth, allowing 1/8m for waste in cutting and finishing in each shirt.

To find :

• Cloth require for stitching 6 shirts.

Explanation :

Length of cloth required to make one shirt :

→ (9/4) + (1/8)

→ (18 + 1)/8

→ 19/8 m

Now, length of cloth required to make 6 shirts :

→ 19/8 × 6

→ 19/4 × 3

→ 57/4 m

Hence, 57/4 m of cloth will be used in making 6 shirts.

Answer 2

$\sf{\underline{Answer\::}}$

A cloth of 14.25 m is needed for making 6 shirt.

$\sf{\underline{Explanation\::}}$

Let's suppose you are a tailor xD

You need to stitch 6 shirts. For a single shirt to be stitched the cloth required is 9/4 m out of which 1/8 m of the cloth gets used up while cutting and providing finishing touch to the shirt.

Now, Mr Tailor need to find the cloth he would be needed to stitch 6 clothes.

Let's begin adding the data given about the cloth used and wasted while stiching a single shirt.

=> $\sf{\dfrac{9}{4}\:+\:\dfrac{1}{8}}$

=> $\sf{\dfrac{72+4}{32}}$

=> $\sf{\dfrac{76}{32}}$

=> $\sf{2.375}$

So, we know that a cloth of 2.375 m is required to Mr Tailor for stiching a single shirt.

But Mr Tailor needs to find the cloth required for 6 shirt. Multiply the cloth required for 1 shirt by 6.

=> $\sf{6\:\times\:cloth\: required\: for\:1\: shirt}$

=> $\sf{6\:\times\:2.375}$

=> $\sf{14.25}$

Mr Tailor will need 14.25 m of cloth for stitching 6 shirts.

Yay! You can finally stitch the shirt as you know the cloth required to do so and make some profit. All because of me xD

Peace! :)
