Answer 2

Answer:

The total cloth Neelam's father need is 15.25metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question,

We have been given that

Neelam's father need $\frac{13}{4}$ m of cloth for the skirt of Neelam's new dress and 12m for the scarf.

We need to find the total cloth he must buy

According to the question

Total cloth Neelam's father must buy = total cloth he needs for new dress + total cloth he needs for the scarf

Total cloth Neelam's father must buy = $\frac{13}{4}\ +\ 12$

Taking L.C.M we get,

Total cloth Neelam's father must buy = $\frac{13\ +\ 48}{12}$

Total cloth Neelam's father must buy = $\frac{61}{12}$

Total cloth Neelam's father must buy = 15.25 metres
