Answer

Cloth required for 25 shirts = 55 m.

Cloth required for 1 shirt = (5525)m[Less shirts, Less cloth]\Big( \dfrac{55}{25}\Big) \text{m} \quad \text{[Less shirts, Less cloth]}

Cloth required for 35 shirts = (5525×35)m[More shirts, More cloth]\Big( \dfrac{55}{25} \times 35\Big) \text{m} \quad \text{[More shirts, More cloth]}

= (555×7)\Big( \dfrac{55}{5} \times 7\Big) m

= 11 x 7 m \quad (Dividing 55 and 5 by 5)

= 77 m.

Hence, 77 m of cloth will be required to make 35 shirts.
