Question

to stitch a shirt 2 metre 15 centimetre cloth is needed. out of 40 metre cloth how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain ? ​

Answer 1

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?

Solution: Cloth required to stitch one shirt= 2 m 15cm = 2 x 100 cm + 15cm = 215 cm

Length of cloth = 40 m = 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm

Number of shirts can be stitched = 4000/215 = 18.6

But we cannot consider number of shirts in decimals.

Therefore, 18 shirts can be stitched and 130 cm (1 m 30 cm) cloth will remain.

Answer 2

Answer:

No. of shirts is 18.

Cloth remained is 130 centimetres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cloth required for one shirt is 2 metres 15 centimetres.

To convert meters to meters we multiply by 100.

So 2 metres = 2×100 metres = 200 centimetres.

40 metres is 4000 centimetres.

So the length of cloth required for one shirt is 200+15 = 215 metres.

We have a total of 4000 centimetres of cloth.

So the number of shirts we can make is=total cloth/cloth required for 1 shirt.

Number of shirts = 4000/215 ( you can do this by normal divison. The quotient is the number of shirts and the remainder is the cloth left.)

4000/215= 18 shirts

The cloth remained is 130 centimetres.
