Question

1.8 m of cloth is required for a shirt. How many such shirts can be made from a piece of cloth 45 m long?

Answer 1

Cloth required for 1 shirt = 1.8 m
∴ Number of shirts that can be made from 45 m of cloth = $\frac{45}{1.8}$ = $\frac{15}{0.6}$ =$\frac{5}{0.2}$ = $\frac{50}{2}$= 25

Hence, 25 shirts can be made from a piece of cloth of length 45 m.
