To stitch a uniform, 1 m 75 cm cloth is needed. Out of 153 m cloth, how many uniforms can be stitched and how much cloth will remain?
Answer
Length of cloth available = 153 m
= (153 × 100) cm
= 15,300 cm
Length of cloth required to stitch one uniform = 1 m 75 cm
= (1 × 100 + 75) cm
= 175 cm
Dividing 15,300 by 175:
Quotient = 87, remainder = 75.
So, 87 uniforms can be stitched and 75 cm of cloth will remain.
Hence, the number of uniforms that can be stitched is 87 and the length of the remaining cloth is 75 cm.
