Question

A mill produces 47854m cloth n a month. What lngth of cloth ill it produce in 6 years?

Answer 1

First thing we need to do is multiply 47854 x 12, since there are 12 months in a year.  This way we know how much they will make in 1 year.  That gives us 574248 for 1 year.  Now, it needs to know how much in 6 years, so we multiply 574248 x 6.  That will give you 3445488.  3445488 is your answer.      Another way you could solve this is 47854 x 72, since we know there are 72 months in 6 years.

Answer 2

47854 x 12 = 574248 x 6 = 3445488
