Answer:

He stitched 1 shirt in 6 hours.

He can stitch 1/6 of a shirt in one hour

Explanation:

Given Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours

No. of shirt stitch in one hour = total no of shirt stitch/total time taken

No. of shirt stitch in one hour = 7/42 = 1/6

Thus, he can stitch 1/6 of a shirt in one hour

Time taken to stitch 1 shirt = total time taken by him to stitch 7 shirts/ total no. of shirt stitch(i.e 7) = 42/6 = 6 hours.

Thus, he stitched 1 shirt in 6 hours.
