To find the cost of 5.8 meters of the same cloth, we can use a proportion.
Let's set up a proportion using the given information:
8m cloth costs Rs 250.
So, the proportion would be:
8m/250 = 5.8m/x
To find 'x', we cross multiply and solve for it:
8m * x = 250 * 5.8m
Simplifying the equation, we cancel out the 'm' units:
8x = 250 * 5.8
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate 'x':
x = (250 * 5.8) / 8
Now, calculate the value of 'x':
x = 1450 / 8
x = 181.25
Therefore, the cost of 5.8 meters of the same cloth would be Rs 181.25.
