Question

If a cloth costs rupees 715 1/4 per meter, find the cost of 3 2/5 meters of this cloth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let cost of 3 2/5 i.e., 17/5 metre cloth be X

the cloth cost rupees 715 1/4 per metre i.e., 2861/4

X = Length of cloth × Cost of per metre cloth

X = 17/5 × 2861/4

X = 48637/20

X = 2431 17/20.
