Question

A tailor requires 250 cm of cloth for making a curtain. He received an order of making 25 curtains, how much cloth will he require to complete the order?

• A. 62.5 cm
• B. 62.5 m
• C. 6250 m
• D. 625 mm

Answer 1

The correct option is B 62.5 m

One curtain requires 250 cm of cloth.

25 curtains will require
= 25 $\times$ 250 = 6250 cm of cloth.

We know that 100 cm = 1 m.

Converting 6250 cm in meters we get
$=\frac{6250}{100}=62.5$ m

∴ 25 curtain will require 62.5 m of cloth.
