Answer 1

$\huge \dag \: { \boxed{ \underline{ \sf{ \pink{Answer}}}}}$

  Cloth required to stitch one shirt=

$\sf \: 2 m 15cm = 2 x 100 cm + 15cm = 215 cm$

Length of cloth =

$\sf \: 40 m = 40 × 100 cm = 4000 cm$

Number of shirts can be stitched =

$\frac{4000}{215 }= 18.6$

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.
