Question

Find the cost of 5¾ m of cloth at rupees 42½ per metere​

Answer 1

Answer given below

Explanation:

`5(3)/(4)` m = 5*4 + 3 / 4

= 23/4 m

`42(1)/(2)` rupees = 42*2 + 1 / 2

= 85/2 rupees

cost of 1 meter cloth = 85/2

cost of 23/4 meter cloth = 85/2 * 23/4

= rupees 1955/8

=
`244 (3)/(8)` rupees

Answer 2

Length of cloth = 5³/4 m -> 23/4 m -> 5.75 m

Cost of cloth per m = ₹42¹/2 -> ₹42.5

Therefore, Cost of 5.75 m = 5.75 × ₹ 42.5 = ₹244.375

Answer = 5.75(5³/4) metres of cloth costs ₹ 244.375
