Question

if 22 dresses of equal size can be stitched from 71 1/2 m of cloth, then what is the length of cloth required for each dress​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given for stitching 22 dresses the cloth required = 71 1/2 m = 143 / 2 m

Therefore, for single dress the cloth required

= (143 / 2) / 22 = 143 / 44 (÷11)

= 13 / 4

= 3. 1 / 4 m 3.25 m

Therefore, each dress required 3.25 m
