Question

The cost of $7\frac{2}{3}$ m of rope is $Rs.12\frac{3}{4}$. Find its cost per meter.

Answer 1

We have, the cost of $\frac{23}{3}$m of rope is Rs$\frac{51}{4}$

Thus the cost of 1m rope is

$=\frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{23}{3}}$

$=\frac{51}{4}\times \frac{3}{23}$

=Rs$\frac{153}{92}$

This is the required solution.
