Answer 2

Answer:

The cost per meter of the cloth is Rs $1 \frac {61}{92}$

To find:

Determine the cost per meter of a $7 \frac{2}{3}$ meters cloth

Solution:

Given, Quantity of cloth = $7 \frac{2}{3}$ meters = $\frac{23}{3}$ meters

Price of $7 \frac{2}{3}$ meters of cloth = Rs $12 \frac{3}{4}$

Or, Price of $\frac{23}{3}$ meters of cloth Rs $\frac{51}{4}$

$\therefore$ Price of 1 m of cloth  

$\begin{array} { c } { = \frac { 51 } { 4 } \div \frac { 23 } { 3 } } \\\\ { = \frac { 51 } { 4 } \times \frac { 3 } { 23 } = \frac { 153 } { 92 } } \end{array}$

$= \text { Rs } 1 \frac { 61 } { 92 } \text { or Rs. } 1.667 \text { (approx.) }$
