Question

if 24 pairs of trousers of equal size can be prepared with 54m of cloth, what length of cloth is required for each pair of trousers

Answer 1

Number of pairs of trousers prepared= 24

Total length of cloth required= 54 m

The length of cloth required for each each pair of trousers= 54/24 = 9/4= 2.25 m

Answer 2

Total number of trousers=24

Length of cloth=54 m

Total number of trousers=Length of cloth/Length of each trouser

Here, we have to find the length of each trouser

So,

Length of each trouser=Length of cloth/total number of trousers

By substituting values,

Length of each trouser=54/24=2.25 m
