Answer:
Molly bought 55/8 m of cloth, and they both bought 56 1/4 m of cloth in all.
Cloth brought by Irene = 7 3/8 m = 59/8 m
Cloth brought by Molly = 1/2 m less than Irene
= 1/2 m less than 59/8 m
Therefore cloth brought by Molly = 59/8 m - 1/2 m
= (59-4)/8 m
= (55)/8 m
Total cloth brought by Irene and Molly = 59/8 m + 55/8 m
= (59+55)/8 m
= 114/8 m = 57/4 m = 56 1/4 m
Hope you are satisfied by the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Irene brought = 7 3/8 = 59/8
Molly bought 1/2 less than Irene
To find out how much did Molly buy = 59/8 - 1/2
= 59/8 - 4/8
= 55/8
Molly buy 55/8
To find out how much did they buy altogether = 59/8 + 55/8
= 114/8 = 57/4
