Answer 2

Answer:

Neelam’s father must buy 2 1/3 m of cloth in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cloth for Neelam's skirt = 1 5/6 m

            Cloth for scarf = 50 cm = 50/100 m = 1/2 m

Solution : Total cloth required = cloth for skirt + cloth for scarf

                                                 = 1 5/6 + 1/2

                                                 = 11/6 + 1/2

                LCM of 6 & 2 is 6

                                                  = (11 + 1x3)/6

                                                  = (11+3)/6

                                                  = 14/6

             Divide both numerator and denominator by 2

                                                 = 14÷2/6÷2

                                                 = 7/3

                                                 = 2 1/3 m
