Question

$\text{If each towel uses}\frac{1}{5}\text{metres of cloth, the number}\text{of towels that can be made from 6 m of cloth is}$

• A. A
• B. C
• C. B

Answer 1

The correct option is C B

$\text{Total length of the cloth}=6\text{m}$

$\text{Length of the cloth required to make}\text{1 towel}=\frac{1}{5}\text{m}$


$=6÷\frac{1}{5}$

$\text{To calculate}6÷\frac{1}{5}\text{:}$


$\text{1 m of cloth}÷\frac{1}{5}=5\text{towels}$

$\therefore \text{6 m of cloth}÷\frac{1}{5}=6\times 5=30\text{towels}$

$\text{Hence, the maximum number of towels}$ $\text{that can be made from 6 m of cloth is 30.}$
