Question

Priti cuts 4/10 m cloth from 5/7 m of cloth and distributes the rest among 3 people equally. how much cloth does each one get?​

Answer 1

Each people get  $\dfrac{11}{105}$  meter cloth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cloth =   $\dfrac{5}{7}$  meter

cloth cut by Priti = $\dfrac{4}{10}$  meter

∴ Remining cloth =  $\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{4}{10}$

                            =  $\dfrac{50-28}{70}$  

                            = $\dfrac{22}{70}$   =  $\dfrac{11}{35}$  meter

Now, remining cloth was distributed among 3 people.

∴so, each people get cloth =   $\dfrac{\dfrac{11}{35}}{3}$  =  $\dfrac{11}{105}$  meter
