Question

mrs. gupta bought 45 1/5 meters of fabric she used 38 1/3 meters to make 12 curtains and half of the remaining to make the four cushions cover ? how much fabric in meters was used to make a cushion covers?

Answer 1

total fabric = 451/5 = 226/5 
fabric used for curtains = 381/3 = 115/3 
remaining fabric = 226/5 - 115/3 = 678-575/15 = 103/15 
half of the remaining fabric was used for making four cushions cover 
fabric was used for making four cushions cover = 103/15 *1/2 = 103/30
fabric used to make a cushion cover = 103/30 *1/4 = 103/120
 meters 

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bf\textbf{So, Length of the fabric used by Mrs. Gupta for cushion covers = }3\tfrac{11}{24}\textbf{ meters}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Length of the fabric bought by Mrs. Gupta = }45\tfrac{1}{4}=\frac{181}{4}\text{ meters}\\\\\text{Length of the fabric used to make 12 curtains by Mrs. Gupta = }38\tfrac{1}{3}=\frac{115}{3}\text{ meters}\\\\\text{Length of the fabric left with Mrs. Gupta = }\frac{181}{4}-\frac{115}{3}=\frac{83}{14}\text{ meters}$

Now, Half of the remaining is used to make 4 cushions.

And we need to find the fabric in meters that was used to make cushion cover

$\text{So, Length of the fabric used by Mrs. Gupta to make cushion covers = }\frac{83}{12}\times \frac{1}{2}\text{ meters}\\\\\implies\bf\textbf{So, Length of the fabric used by Mrs. Gupta for cushion covers = }3\tfrac{11}{24}\textbf{ meters}$
