Question

A roll of clothing has 25m cloth. 5 curtains each of 3m50 cm length are cut from the roll. Find the length of the cloth left in the roll?

Answer 1

Dear Student

Length of cloth = 25 m

Length of cloth cut for one curtain = 3 m 50 cm = 3.50 m
Total cloth used to making five curtains = 5 x 3.50 m = 17.50 m

Therefore, length of cloth left = Length of cloth - length of cloth used for five curtains
= 25 - 17.50
= 7.5 m
