Explanation:

50m.cloth costs=2500$

we can write,

2500$cost for=50m.

1$ costs for=
\tt{(50)/(2500) }

=
\tt{\frac{\cancel{50}}{\cancel{2500}} }m. ⠀

=
\tt{(1)/(50) } m.⠀

So,

1000$ cost for ,

=
\tt{(1)/(50)×1000 }

=
\tt{\frac{1}{\cancel{50}}×\cancel{1000 }}

=
\tt{20m. }


\therefore 20m. Will be bought in 1000$⠀

Answer:

The 20m of cloth will be bought in $1000.

Explanation:

Given that :-

The cost of 50m cloth is $2500.

We need to find :-

How much meters of cloth will be bought in $1000.

Let us assume :

We bought x meters of cloth in $1000.

According to the question

50 = 2500

x = 1000

  • Using cross multiplication method.

50 × 1000 = 2500 × x

50000 = 2500x

  • Divide both side by 2500.


(50000)/(2500) \\ =
(2500x)/(2500) \\

  • Reduce the fractions.

20 = x

Hence,

The 20m of cloth will be bought in $1000.
