Question

In order to make a shirt, a length of 2 m 75 cm of cloth is needed. How much length of the cloth will be required for 16 such shirts?

Answer 1

We know that 1 m = 100 cm
Now, length of the cloth required to make one shirt = 2 m 75 cm
Length of the cloth required to make 16 such shirts = 2 m 75 cm $\times$ 16
= 2.75 m $\times$ 16
= 44 m

∴ The length of the cloth required to make 16 shirts will be 44 m.
