Question

If half a meter of cloth costs Rs 15. Find the cost of \(8\frac{1}{3}\) meters of the same cloth.

Answer 1

Let the cost of cloth required be x.

Cost of cloth in Rs	15	x
Length of cloth in meters	\(\frac{1}{2}\)	8\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{25}{3}\)

Cost and length are in direct proportion.
