Question Priya uses 16 metres of cloth to make 4 kurtas. How much cloth would she need to make 8 kurtas?
Cloth used to make 4 kurtas = 16 metres
Kurta 1 Kurta 2 Kurta 3 Kurta 4 4 metres + 4 metres + 4 metres + 4 metres
Since, cloth used in 1 Kurta = 4 metres So, required length of the cloth for 8 kurtas = 4 × 8 = 4 × 10 – 4 × 2 = 40 – 8 = 32
Thus, Priya needs 32 metre of cloth to make 8 kurtas.
