A mother bought 10 2/3 m of white cloth and 12 1/2 m of blue cloth. she used 3/4 of the blue cloth for skirts and 4/5 of the white cloth for blouses.how many meters of cloth remained?

12.5 * (1-.75) = blue

32/3 * (1-.8) = white

Add blue and white.

If 50 meter of cloth costs rupe 3725 how much clothes can be bought for 80 metres.

John cuts 4/10m cloth from 5/7m of cloth and distributes the rest among 3 people.How much cloth does each get?

To find out how many meters of cloth remained, we need to subtract the amount of cloth used from the total amount of cloth bought.

First, let's convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions for easier calculations.

The white cloth bought is 10 2/3 m. To convert it into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (10) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2). This gives us (10 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 32/3 m.

The blue cloth bought is 12 1/2 m. We convert it into an improper fraction in the same way: (12 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 25/2 m.

Next, we calculate the amount of cloth used for skirts. The mother used 3/4 of the blue cloth, so we multiply 25/2 by 3/4: (25/2) * (3/4) = 75/8 m.

Then, we calculate the amount of cloth used for blouses. The mother used 4/5 of the white cloth, so we multiply 32/3 by 4/5: (32/3) * (4/5) = 128/15 m.

Now, we can find the total amount of cloth used by adding the cloth used for skirts and blouses: 75/8 + 128/15.

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 15 is 120, so we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 120.

For 75/8, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 15: (75 * 15) / (8 * 15) = 1125/120.

For 128/15, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 8: (128 * 8) / (15 * 8) = 1024/120.

Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator, we can add them: 1125/120 + 1024/120 = 2149/120.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 7: (2149/7) / (120/7) = 307/17.

So the total amount of cloth used is 307/17 m.

To find the amount of cloth remaining, we subtract the cloth used from the total cloth bought:

Total cloth bought = 10 2/3 m + 12 1/2 m
= 32/3 m + 25/2 m
= (32/3 + 25/2) m

Again, we need a common denominator to add these fractions. The LCM of 3 and 2 is 6, so we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6.

For 32/3, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2: (32 * 2) / (3 * 2) = 64/6.

For 25/2, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3: (25 * 3) / (2 * 3) = 75/6.

Now, we can add these fractions: 64/6 + 75/6 = 139/6.

To calculate the amount of cloth remaining, we subtract the amount used from the total bought: 139/6 - 307/17.

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The LCM of 6 and 17 is 102, so we convert both fractions to have a denominator of 102.

For 139/6, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 17: (139 * 17) / (6 * 17) = 2363/102.

Now, we can subtract the fractions: 2363/102 - 307/17.

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The LCM of 102 and 17 is 102, so we don't need to convert.

Subtracting, we get: (2363 - 307) / 102 = 2056/102.

Simplifying the fraction, we get: (2056/4) / (102/2) = 514/51.

Therefore, the amount of cloth remaining is 514/51 meters.
