Answer»

i. Total quantity of rice = 9 kg

Number of people = 5

∴ Kilograms of rice received by each person = \(\cfrac{9}{5}\)

∴ Each person will get \(\cfrac{9}{5}\) kg of rice.

ii. Total meters of cloth = 11 meters

Number of shirts to be made = 5

Meters of cloth needed to make 1 shirt = \(\cfrac{11}{5}\)
∴ Cloth needed to make 1 shirt is \(\cfrac{11}{5}\) meters.
