Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.250              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:Half meter cloth costs Rs.15.

To Find: Find the cost of 8×1/3 meters of the same cloth

Solution:

Cost of 1/2 m cloth = Rs.15

Cost of 1 m cloth = $\frac{15}{\frac{1}{2}}$

                             = $30$

Cost of $8\frac{1}{3}$ m of cloth = $30 \times 8\frac{1}{3}$      

                                                               =$30 \times \frac{25}{3}$              

                                                               =$10 \times 25$      

                                                               =$250$                    

Hence the Cost of $8\frac{1}{3}$ m of cloth is Rs.250
