Question

Out of 45 metres long clothes, 25 metres was used for making 8 frocks. Find the ratio of total cloth to the remaining cloth​

Answer 1

Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cloth = 45m

Fraction of cloth used = 25/45 = 5/9

Fraction of cloth left = 45/45 - 25/45 = 20/45 = 4/9

∴ Ratio of used part of cloth to remaining part of cloth = 5:4 .

Answer 2

Answer:

9:4 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cloth is 45 metres

Cloth used for making frock is 25 metres

Cloth left is 45 - 25

=20

So ratio will be 45:20

9:4
