Question

The cost of 1 m cloth is Rs 44 4/5.Find the cost of 3 3/4 m of cloth

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of cloth needed for stitching 1 shirt=2 m 15 cm

=2 m+15 cm

=2×1 m+15 cm

=2×100 cm+15 cm (since 1 m=100 cm)

Length of cloth needed for stitching 1 shirt=200+15=215 cm

Total length of cloth available=40m

since 1 m=100 cm

Total length of cloth available=40×100cm

Total length of cloth available=4000cm

Total number of shirts can be made from available cloth

=

4000

Quotient=18 and Remainder=130

∴ number of shirts that can be made=18

and remaining cloth=130 cm

=100 cm+30 cm

since 1 m=100 cm

Remaining cloth=1 m30 cm
