Question

Raghu bought 10 m 25 cm of cloth. He used 4 m 75 cm from it. How much cloth is left?

Answer 1

We know that 1 m = 100 cm
10 m = 1000 cm
4 m = 400 cm

Cloth bought by Raghu = 10 m 25 cm = 1000 + 25 = 1025 cm ...(0.5 marks)
Cloth used by him = 4 m 75 cm = 400 + 75 = 475 cm ...(0.5 marks)
Cloth left = 1025 - 475 = 550 cm ...(0.5 marks)

We know 100 cm = 1 m
Hence, 550 cm = 500 + 50 = 5 m 50 cm. ...(0.5 marks)
