Question

The cost of 5 2/7 meter of cloth is Rs. 28 1/3. What is the cost of 1meter cloth

Answer 1

Answer:

$5\frac{2}{7} m \: > rs \: 28 \frac{1}{3}$

$rs \: 28 \frac{1}{3} > rs \: \frac{85}{3}$

divide 85 by 3.

85 ÷ 3 = 28.3

= Rs 28.30

$5 \frac{2}{7} > \frac{37}{7}$

Divide 37 by 7.

37 ÷ 7 = 5.2

5.2 metre

So we know that

5.2 metre is Rs 28.30

So 1 metre is

Rs 28.30 ÷ 5 = Rs 5.66
