Question
A skirt that is `35 7/8` cm long has a hem of `3 1/8` cm. How long will the skirt be if the hem is let down?
Solution
Length of the skirt = `35 7/8` cm = `287/8` cm
Dimension of hem = `3 1/8` cm = `25/8` cm
Length of skirt, if hem is let down = `(287/8 + 25/8)` cm
= `312/8` cm
= 39 cm
Hence, the length of the skirt, if the hem is let down, is 39 cm.
