Answer 1

Answer:

Your question: If the cost of 2 2/3 m of cloth is ₹780, find the cost of the same cloth per metre.

Your answer:

$given \: \: \: 2 \frac{2}{3} m \: = rupees \: 780$

So, the cost of the same cloth per metre:

$= 780 \div 2 \frac{2}{3}$

[ let's change the mixed fraction to improper fraction ]

$= 780 \div \frac{8}{3}$

[ now, let's reciprocal 8/3. So, it becomes easy for us to proceed ]

$= 780 \times \frac{3}{8}$

$= \frac{2340}{8}$

[ now let's divide it ]

$= 292.5$

So, one metre of cloth costs: rupees 292.5
