For making 18 shirts, a large piece of cloth measuring $ 38 \mathrm{~m} 70 \mathrm{~cm} $ is required. How much cloth is used for making each shirt?
Given:
Length of cloth required to make 18 shirts$=38\ m\ 70\ cm$.
To do:
We have to find the length of cloth used for making each shirt.
Solution:
Total length of cloth $=38\ m\ 70\ cm$
$1\ m = 100\ cm$
$38\ m = 38 \times 100\ cm = 3800\ cm$
So, $38\ m\ 70\ cm = (3800 + 70)\ cm = 3870\ cm$
Length of cloth required for making each shirt $=$ Total length of cloth for 18 shirts $\div$ Number of shirts
$=\frac{3870}{ 18}$
$= 215\ cm$
215 cm of cloth is used for making each shirt.
