Question

It requires 57 1/5m of cloth to stitch 22 shirts of the
same size. How much cloth will be required to stitch
one shirt?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cloth required to stitch one shirt= 2 m 15cm = 2 x 100 cm + 15cm = 215 cm

Length of cloth = 40 m = 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm

Number of shirts can be stitched = 4000/215 = 18.6

But we cannot consider number of shirts in decimals.

Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm (1 m 30 cm) cloth will remain.
