Question

3 m of cloth is required to stitch a flag. We have to stitch 1,555 flags.

Will 5,000 m of cloth be enough?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Yes

Cloth required for 1 flag = 3 m

∴ Cloth required for 1,555 flags
= 1,555 $\times$ 3 m

Let us split 1,555 in the respective place values as: 1555 = 1000 + 500 + 50 + 5


Now, we multiply each value by 3.


After adding the values, we get 4,665 as the product.

Hence, 4,665 m cloth is required to stitch 1,555 flags.


We can see that 5,000 > 4,665

Thus, 5,000 m of cloth is enough to stitch 1,555 flags.
