Answer:

The cost per meter be Rs 1.66 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

$The\ cost\ of\ \frac{23}{3}\ meters\ of\ cloth\ is\ Rs\frac{51}{4}$

$Cost\ per\ meter = \frac{Total\ cost\ of\ cloth}{Total\ length\ of\ cloth}$

$Total\ length\ of\ cloth = \frac{23}{3}\ meter$

$Total\ cost\ of\ cloth = Rs \frac{51}{4}$

Putting  the values

$Cost\ per\ meter = \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{23}{3}}$

$Cost\ per\ meter = \frac{12.75}{7.7}$

Cost per meter = Rs 1.66 (Approx)

Therefore the cost per meter be Rs 1.66 .
