Question

To stich a shirt, 2m 15cm cloth is needed. Out of 40m cloth,how many shirts can be stiched and how many will remain?

Answer 1

18 shirts can be made and 130 cm of clothes will remain unstitched.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total length of the cloth = 40 m = 4000 cm

Amount needed to stitch a shirt = 2m 15cm = 215 cm

Now dividing 4000 by 215 to get the number of shirts that can be stitched and no. of shirts remain. After dividing, we get quotient as 18 and remainder as 130.

So, 18 shirts can be made and 130 cm of clothes will remain unstitched.
