Question

If 12 shirts of equal size can be prepared from 27 m cloth, what is length of cloth required for each shirt?

Answer 1

Given, total size of available cloth = 27 m

Since, 12 shirts can be made from 27 m long cloth

∴ Length of cloth required for each shirt = `"Total available cloth"/"Number of shirts"`

= `27/12`

= `9/4`

= 2.25 m

Hence, 2.25 m cloth required for each shirt.
