The width of a cloth is 170 cm. Calculate the length of the cloth required to make 25 diapers, if each diaper requires a piece of cloth of size 50 cm by 17 cm.

Solution

We have,
Length of the diaper = 50 cm
Breadth of the diaper = 17 cm
Area of cloth to make 1 diaper = Length x Breadth = 50 cm x 17 cm = 850 cm²
Thus,
Area of 25 such diapers = (25 x 850) cm² = 21,250 cm²
Area of total cloth = Area of 25 diapers
= 21,250 cm²
It is given that width of a cloth = 170 cm
∴ Length of the cloth = ^{$\frac{Area of cloth}{Width of a cloth} = \frac{21, 250 {cm}^{2}}{170 cm} = 125 cm$}
Hence, length of the cloth will be 125 cm.
