Guidelines for Solving Exercise 3 on Page 71 of Math 5 Textbook
Problem Statement: Making a set of clothes requires 2.8 meters of fabric. How many sets of clothes can be made from 429.5 meters of fabric, and how much fabric is left over?
Summary:
2.8m: 11 sets
429.5m: ... sets? (excess:... m?)
- Procedure: Divide 429.5 meters of fabric by the amount needed for one set of clothes to find out how many sets of clothes can be made and the remaining fabric.
Answer:
We have:
429.5 : 2.8 = 153 (remainder 1.1)
So, with 429.5m of fabric, the store can make 153 sets of clothes and have 1.1m of excess fabric left.
Result: 153 sets of clothes; 1.1m of excess fabric.
