Question

Q3. Rahul bought 5 metres of cloth from the market. He cut off 3 1/4
metres and gave it
to his friend. What length of cloth is left with him?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is : 1 & 3/4 is left to him.

Explanation:

First, you do 5-3 which is 2.

But Rahul also cut 1/4 as well.

2-1/4 is 1 & 1/4 as 1 & 1/4 + 1/4 is 2.

So 2-1/4 = 1 & 3/4.

Let's check:

3 & 1/4 + 1 & 3/4 = 5
