Question

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

Hint: Convert data in cm.
$$2$$m $$15$$cm$$=215$$cm($$1$$m $$=100$$cm)$$40$$m$$=40\times 100=4000$$cm
Cloth required for one shirt$$=215$$cm
Number of shirts that can be stitched out of $$4000$$cm $$=4000\div215$$
$$18$$
