how many pieces of cloth 120 cm long can be cut from a bolt of cloth 18 m in lenght
1 m = 100 cm
1.2 m = 120 cm
18/1.2 = _______ pieces
141 cm
No.
Why didn't you follow my instructions?
Besides you're supposed to find the number of pieces.
To find out how many pieces of cloth can be cut, we need to calculate the number of 120 cm lengths that can be obtained from the total length of the bolt.
First, let's convert the length of the bolt from meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
So, 18 meters = 18 * 100 centimeters = 1800 centimeters.
Now, we can divide the length of the bolt by the length of each cloth piece to find the number of pieces:
Number of pieces = Total length of the bolt ÷ Length of each cloth piece
Number of pieces = 1800 ÷ 120
Number of pieces = 15
Therefore, you can cut 15 pieces of cloth, each 120 cm long, from a bolt of cloth that is 18 meters long.
