How much cloth will be used in making 6 shirts, if each required 2(1/4)m of cloth, allowing 1/8m for waste in cutting and finishing in each shirt

Solution:

Length of cloth required for one shirt = 2(1/4) + 1/8

= 9/4 + 1/8

= (18 + 1)/8

= 19/8 m

Length of cloth required for 6 shirts = 19/8 × 6 = 57/4 = 14(1/4)m
