The cost of 12¼ m of cloth is 212.3 rupees.
A ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other
We have been given that 1 m of cloth costs rupees 17⅓.
We have to determine the cost of 12¼ m of cloth.
Let the cost of 12¼ m of cloth would be x rupees
We can write this as a ratio as
1 m : rupees 17⅓ = 12¼ m : x rupees
[17⅓ = 52/3 = 17.3 and 12¼ = 49/4 = 12.25]
1 m : 17.3 rupees = 12.25 m : x rupees
⇒ 1 /17.3 = 12.25 /x
⇒ (1)(x) = (12.25 )×(17.3)
⇒ x = 212.3
Therefore, the cost of 12¼ m of cloth is 212.3 rupees.
