Question

the cost of 6*2/3m of iron wire is RS 16*2/3 find the cost of 1
m wire

Pooja · Accepted Answer

Cost of $6 \frac{2}{3} m$ of iron wire = $R s . 16 \frac{2}{3}$

$6 \frac{2}{3} m = \frac{20}{3} m$

Thus, the cost of $\frac{20}{3} m$ of iron wire $= R s . \frac{50}{3}$

Therefore, cost of 1 m wire

$= R s \frac{50}{3} \times \frac{3}{20} = R s \frac{5}{2} = R s 2.50$
