Q. multiplications?)\newline99. To stitch a shirt, 2 m15 cm 2 \mathrm{~m} 15 \mathrm{~cm} cloth is needed. Out of 40 m 40 \mathrm{~m} cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain?\newline(Hint: convert data in cm \mathrm{cm} .)
  1. Convert to centimeters: First, convert everything to centimeters because we need a common unit to divide easily.\newline1m=100cm1\,\text{m} = 100\,\text{cm}, so 2m15cm2\,\text{m}\,15\,\text{cm} is the same as 215cm215\,\text{cm} (because 2×100cm+15cm2\times100\,\text{cm} + 15\,\text{cm}).
  2. Convert total cloth length: Now, convert the total cloth length into centimeters. 40m40\,\text{m} is 4000cm4000\,\text{cm} (because 40×100cm40\times100\,\text{cm}).
  3. Divide total cloth: Next, divide the total cloth by the cloth needed for one shirt. 4000cm4000\,\text{cm} divided by 215cm215\,\text{cm} equals approximately 18.618.6.
  4. Calculate number of shirts: Since we can't make a fraction of a shirt, we can make only 1818 shirts.
  5. Calculate remaining cloth: Finally, calculate the remaining cloth. 4000cm(18shirts×215cmpershirt)4000\,\text{cm} - (18 \,\text{shirts} \times 215\,\text{cm} \,\text{per} \,\text{shirt}) equals 4000cm3870cm4000\,\text{cm} - 3870\,\text{cm}, which is 130cm.130\,\text{cm}.
