Question

The cost of metres of cloth is Rs . Find the cost of cloth per metre.

Answer 1

The cost of $2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\mathrm{met}\text{res of}\mathrm{cloth}$= $\mathrm{Rs}.75\frac{1}{4}=\frac{301}{4}$.
The cost of 1 metre of cloth = Rs. $\frac{301}{4}÷\frac{7}{3}=\frac{301}{4}\times \frac{3}{7}=\frac{43\times 7}{4}\times \frac{3}{7}=\frac{129}{4}=32\frac{1}{4}.$
