Question

A tailor needs to make uniforms for 32 students from a piece of cloth. If the length of that piece 45 3/4m and each student requires 1 1/8m, calculate the length of cloth that would be left

Answer 1

uniform for 1 student = 1 1/8 = 9/8

uniform 32 students = 32 x 9/8 = 36m

Total cloth = 45 3/4 = 183/4 = 45.75m

Cloth left = 45.75 - 36 = 9.75m i hope that helps
