Question

sikha cuts 50m. of cloth into pieces of 1.25 m. each. How many pieces does she get?

Answer 1

Divide 50 m by 1.25 m50 m by 1.25 m moving the decimal points 22 places to the right so that you can divide without them:

50 m1.25 m50 m1.25 m

=5000125=5000125

=2005=2005

=40.=40.

So 4040 pieces of 1.25 m1.25 m-length cloth can be cut from a 50 m50 m cloth.

Answer 2

Answer:

40 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of cloth = 50 m

Length of one piece of cloth = 1.25 m

Let the number of pieces be x.

∴ Number of pieces of cloth × Length of each piece of cloth = Total length of cloth

x ×1.25 = 50

x = 501.25

= 50 ×100125=40

Thus, she gets 40 pieces of 1.25 m cloth from a total of 50 m.
