Question
A piece of cloth is 5 metre long. After washing, it shrinks by `1/25` of its length. What is the length of the cloth after washing?
Solution
Length of a piece of cloth = 5 m
After washing, it is shrinked
= `1/25` of 5 m = `1/5` m
Length of cloth after washing
= `(5-1/5)`m
= `(25-1)/5`
= `24/5`m
= `4 4/5`m
