Question

a shirt requires 2.7 m of cloth. how many such shirts can be made from a piece of cloth of 40.5 m?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{shirts}\mathrm{made}\mathrm{from}2.7\mathrm{m}\mathrm{cloth}=1 \\ \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{shirts}\mathrm{made}\mathrm{from}1\mathrm{m}\mathrm{cloth}=\frac{1}{2.7} \\ \mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{shirts}\mathrm{made}\mathrm{from}40.5\mathrm{m}\mathrm{cloth}=\frac{40.5}{2.7}=15 \end{gathered}$$
