Question

Ria bought $2.5m$cloth for her salwar, $3.75m$ for her shirt and $3m$ for her dupatta. Find the total length of the cloth bought by her.

Answer 1

Addition of decimals:

Length of cloth for salwar $=2.5m$

Length of cloth for shirt$=3.75m$

Length of cloth for dupatta $=3m$

The total length of the cloth $=2.5+3.75+3$

At first, we convert the given decimals to like decimals as $2.50,3.75,3.00$

Writing these decimals in a column form by aligning decimal points, we get

$$\begin{gathered} 2.50 \\ 3.75 \\ +3.00 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 9.25 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Hence, The total length of the cloth $=9.25m$
