Question

The cloth required to make a shirt of school uniform for each boy is 1m80cm.how many shirt can tailor stich using 40m of cloth?how much cloth will be left?

Answer 1

If a boy's shirt requires 1m 80cm cloth it means, converting centimeter to meter we get 80/100=0.8m
Thus, total requirement is 1+0.8=1.8m
Now total cloth is 40m
Cloth. No. of shirts
1.8m. --> 1
40m. --> ?
Hence,
n = (40*1) / 1.8
Hence, n = 22.22
Means 22 shirts can be made and 22cm cloth will be left as 22.22-22=0.22m =22cm.
