an orphanage bought 119 1/4 m of cloth to stitch dresses for kids. The dress for one kid requires 2 1/4m of cloth. How many dresses of the size can be stitched

53 dresses

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all..if one kid required 2 1/4m of cloth,what about 119 1/4m of cloth?

So u take 119 1/4m of cloth and divide it by 2 1/4m of cloth.

Then change the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

So the question will be 477/4 m divided by 9/4 m.

The second improper fraction (9/4)m will be reciprocated to be (4/9)m.

Afterwards,take 477/4 m and multiply it by 4/9 m.

The result will be 53 dresses.
