Question

The length of cloth used for stitching 4 skirts is
12 m and the length of cloth used for stitching
3 tops is 3.6 m. Find the ratio of the length
of the cloth used for stitching one skirt to the
length of the cloth used for stitching one top.​

Answer 1

Answer:

length used for stitching one skirt=3cm

length used for stitching one top= 1.2cm

ratio of length of skirt to that of top=3cm/1.2cm

=5:2

Answer 2

Answer:

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the cloth used for stitching 4 skirts = 12m

Length of the cloth used for stitching 3 tops = 3.6m

Therefore, Length of cloth used for stitching one skirts is = 12/4m = 3m

Length of cloth used for stitching 1 top is = 3.6/3m = 1.2m

The ratio of the length of the cloth used for stitching 1 skirt to the length of the cloth used for stitching one top given by 3:12

3:12/10 = 3:6/5 = 15/6 = 5/2 = 5:2.

Hence,The ratio of the length of the cloth used for stitching 1 skirt to the length of the cloth used for stitching one top is 5:2
