Question

The cost of 38 m of cloth is 817. How much
cloth of the same kind can be purchased for
580.50?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. cost of 38m cloth =817. cost of 1m cloth= 817/38. cost of 580.50 = 817/38×580.50

Answer 2

the answer is 27 m

explanation :

let x1=38m

x2=?

y1=817

y2=580.50

therefore,

they are in direct proportion

x1/y1 = x2/y2

=38m/817 = x2/580.50

by cross multiplication

x2*817 = 580.50*38

= x2 = 580.50*38/817

x2 =27
