Question

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

Answer 1

first convert 40m into cm and then convert 2m and 15cm into m then divide total by 1 and remaining is remaindet

Answer 2

2m 15cm
= 2 + 0.15
= 2.15m

Since one shirt needs 2.15m of cloth,
40m ÷ 2.15m = 18.6

To find the remaining cloth:
18 × 2.15m = 38.7m
40m - 38.7m = 1.3m

Hence, 18 shirts can be stitched and 1.3m of cloth will remain.
