Solution

Given Radhika takes $2 \frac{1}{3}$ m of cloth to make a shirt
i.e. $2 \frac{1}{3} m = \frac{(2 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{6 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$ m
If Radhik has $9 \frac{1}{3} m = \frac{(9 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{27 + 1}{3} = \frac{28}{3}$ m
Then number of shirts that can be made $= \frac{A v a i l a b l e c l o t h}{R e q u i r e d c l o t h t o m a k e o n e s h i r t} = \frac{\frac{28}{3}}{\frac{7}{3}} = \frac{28}{3} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{28}{7} = 4$
