A tailor has 37.5 m of cloth. He has to make 8 pieces out of 3 m of cloth. How many pieces can he make out of his cloth?

Correct option is C

Given:

Total length of cloth = 37.5m

Cloth required for 8 pieces = 3 m

Formula Used:

Cloth required for 1 piece  =  $$\frac{3}{8} \, m$$​​

​$$\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{\text{Total length of cloth}}{\text{Cloth required for 1 piece}}$$​​

Solution:

The amount of cloth required for 1 piece:

Cloth required for 1 piece = $$\frac{3}{8} = 0.375 \, m$$​​

The number of pieces that can be made:

​$$\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{37.5}{0.375} = 100$$​​

Thus, the tailor can make 100 pieces out of 37.5 m of cloth.
