Question

To stitch an uniform, 5 m of cloth is required. What is the total length required to stitch 678 uniforms?

• A. 3,390 m
• B. 3,547 m
• C. 3,560 m
• D. 3,429 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3,390 m

For one uniform, 5 m of cloth is required.

∴ For 678 uniforms, (678 $\times$ 5) m of cloth is required.

So first, we will split 678 in the respective place values as:
678 = 600 + 70 + 8


Now, we multiply each value with 5 using the area model.


After adding the partial products, we get 3390 as the final product.

Hence, to stitch 678 uniforms, 3390 m of cloth is required.
