Question

The number of scarfs of length half metre that can be made from y metres of cloth is:

• A. $2y$
• B. $\frac{y}{2}$
• C. $y+2$
• D. $y+\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$2y$

From the question it is given that, length of scarf is half metre $=\frac{1}{2}m$

Then, the number of scarfs can be made from y metres of cloth $=\frac{y}{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}}$

The number of scarfs can be made from y metres of cloth $=2y$
