Step-by-step explanation:

Square handkerchief are to be prepared from a piece of cloth 5 m long and 1.25 m wide. What will be the largest size of the handkerchief when no wastage is allowed? Also find the number of handkerchief made​

Size of cloth = 5 m * 1.25 m

5m = 1.25 * 4 m

HCF of 5 & 1.25 = 1.25

So  largest size of the handkerchief when no wastage = 1.25 m * 1.25 m

Number of handkerchief = ( 5 * 1.25)/(1.25 * 1.25)  = 4
