The number of scarfs of length half metre that can be made from y metres of cloth is:

$(a) 2 y$
$(b) \frac{y}{2}$
$(c) y + 2$
$(d) y + \frac{1}{2}$

Solution

We have,
Length of 1 scarf
$= \frac{1}{2} m$

So, number of scarfs which can be made from y metres

$= \frac{y}{\frac{1}{2}} = 2 y$

Hence option (a) is correct.
