Question

Shikha bought 2 m 5 cm cloth for her salwar and 3 m 35 cm cloth for her shirt. Find the total length of cloth bought by her.

Answer 1

Cloth required for salwar = 2 m 05 cm = 2.05 m
Cloth required for shirt = 3 m 35 cm = 3.35 m

Total cloth required is
$$\begin{gathered} 2.\stackrel{1}{0}5\mathrm{m} \\ \underline{+3.35\mathrm{m}} \\ \underline{5.40\mathrm{m}} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the total length of cloth bought by Shikha is 5.4 m.
