Question

The cost of 2 1/3metres of cloth is Rs. 75 1/4. Find the cost of cloth per metre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

32 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data,

Cost of 2(1/3)m of cloth = 75 (1/4).

So the cost of (7/3) m of cloth = (301/4) m.

Using the Equation of direct proportion, It can be written as:

Cost of cloth per meter:

= (301/4) ÷ (7/3)

= (301 * 3)/(4 * 7)

= (301 * 3)/28

= (903/28)

= 129/4

Therefore, cost of cloth per meter is 129/4 m (or) 32 (1/4) m.
