Answer:
Therefore, the cost of 2 1/2 metres of cloth at 47 5/4 rupee per metre is 955/8 rupee.
Explanation:
We can solve this problem using multiplication and addition as follows:
The cost of 1 metre of cloth is 47 5/4 rupee.
So, the cost of 2 1/2 metres of cloth is:
2 1/2 * 47 5/4
To multiply mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions.
2 1/2 = 5/2
47 5/4 = 191/4
So, 2 1/2 * 47 5/4 = 5/2 * 191/4
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
5/2 * 191/4 = (5 * 191)/(2 * 4) = 955/8
Therefore, the cost of 2 1/2 metres of cloth at 47 5/4 rupee per metre is 955/8 rupee.
