It takes 1¾ meter of cloth to make a skirt how many skirts can be made with 10 ½ meters of cloth
(10 1/2) ÷ (1 3/4) = 21/2 ÷ 7/4 = 21/2 * 4/7 = 6
10½ / 1¾ = (21/2) / (7/4) = (42/2) / (7/4) = 42 / 7 = ?
To find out how many skirts can be made with 10 ½ meters of cloth, we need to divide the total length of cloth by the length needed for each skirt.
The length needed for each skirt is 1¾ meters.
To perform the division, we can convert all lengths to fractions or decimals. Let's convert the length needed for each skirt to a decimal:
1¾ = 1.75 (since ¾ is equivalent to 0.75)
Now we can divide the total length of cloth by the length needed for each skirt:
10.5 ÷ 1.75 = 6
Therefore, 6 skirts can be made with 10 ½ meters of cloth.
To find out how many skirts can be made with 10 ½ meters of cloth, we need to divide the total length of the cloth by the length required to make one skirt.
First, let's convert 1¾ meters into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (4) and add the numerator (3). This gives us 7/4.
Next, we convert 10 ½ meters into an improper fraction. We multiply the whole number (10) by the denominator of the fraction (2) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 21/2.
Now we can divide the total length of the cloth by the length required to make one skirt:
21/2 ÷ 7/4
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
21/2 × 4/7
Now we multiply the numerators and denominators:
(21 × 4) / (2 × 7) = 84/14
We can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 14:
84/14 ÷ 14/14 = 6/1
Therefore, with 10 ½ meters of cloth, you can make 6 skirts.
