Question

Kripa Shankar bought $2m60cm$ cloth for his kurta and $1m75cm$ cloth for his pyjama . Find the total length of the cloth bought by him in meters.

Answer 1

Length of cloth Kripa Shankar bought for his kurta = $2m60cm$
Length of cloth Kripa Shankar bought for his kurta = $1m75cm$
To find the total length of the cloth bought by him, we need to add both the decimals
Step1: Adding Decimals
$$\begin{gathered} 2m60cm \\ +1m75cm \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 4m35cm \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Step 2:Converting the decimals into meters
For converting $cm$to $m$, we need to divide by $100$,
We know that $1m=100cm$
$4m35cm$ can be written as $4+\frac{35}{100}m$
$4+\frac{35}{100}=4.35m$
Thus, total length of the cloth bought by Kripa Shankar is $4.35m$
