To stitch a shirt, 2m 15cm cloth is needed. Out of 40m cloth, how many shirts can be stiched and how much cloth will remain?

Given: Cloth needed to stitch one shirt  =  2 m  15 cm

To do: Find out of 40 m how many shirts can be stiched and how much cloth will remain?

Solution:Total length of cloth  =  $40 m$

$1 m = 100 cm$

$2 m  =  2 \times 100 cm = 200 cm$

$2 m  =  200 cm$ ;  so, $2 m 15 cm  =  200 + 15 m  =  215 m$

$40 m  =  40 \times 100 cm  =  4000 cm$

Number of shirts can be stitch =  Total length of cloth $\div$ Cloth needed to stitch one shirt

                                                        = $\frac{ 4000}{ 215} = 18$

If we divide, we get 18 shirts can be stitched 215 $\times$ 18  =  3870
Remaining cloth = 4000 $-$ 3870  =  130 cm
