Question

To stitch a shirt, 2 m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first divide 40 m by 2m 15cm =>40/2.15 =>18.60467441 approximately.

So hence since 2m 15 cm is required to stitch a shirt, by using 40 m we can stitch 18 shirts leaving behind 1.3 m.

Answer 2

Given

Total length of the cloth = 40 m

= 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm

Cloth required to stitch one shirt = 2 m 15 cm

= 2 × 100 + 15 cm = 215 cm

Number of shirts that can be stitched out of 4000 cm = 4000 / 215 = 18 shirts

Hence 18 shirts can be stitched out of 40 m and 1m 30 cm of cloth is left out
