How much cloth will be used in making 6 shirts, if each required 2 1/4 m of cloth, allowing 1/8 m for waste in cutting and finishing in each shirt?

Answer»

Length of cloth required for one shirt

= 2 1/4 m + 1/8 m

= (9/4 + 1/8) m

= (18 + 1)/8 m

= 19/8 m

∴ Length of cloth required for 6 shirts

= 19/8 x 6 m

= (19 x 3)/4 m

= 57/4 m

= 14 1/4 m
