​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of cloth per metre is Rs.(80/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am introducing one of the easiest methods to you.......

Since, it includes fractions, it might be a bit confusing, "But don't fear, for your Friend Mathwiz is here....." So, now let's go.....

Cost of 2(3/4) m cloth is Rs. 73(1/3)

We know that,

A(b/c) = (Ac + b)/c (Conversion of mixed fraction to improper fraction)

2(3/4) m = (11/4) m

Rs.73(1/3) = Rs.(220/3)

Now,

(11/4) m cost Rs.(220/3)

so, to get 1 m we must multiply 4/11 (Think about it......)

(11/4) × (4/11) = 1

So, 1 m costs Rs. (220/3) × (4/11)

= 1 m costs Rs.(80/3)

Thus, cost of cloth per metre is Rs.(80/3)

Hope it helped and you understood it........All the best
