- An industrial loom weaves 0.128 m of cloth every second.
- The time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth can be figure out in this way.
Explanation
Two given entities here are
- Cloth
- Time
To determine the relation here, let suppose; the time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth = y
Case
As we know that;
Cloth Time
0.128 m 1 sec
25 m y
- More time means more cloth (Loom can weave too much cloth).
- Less time means less cloth.
This clearly indicates that there is direct relation.
Direct/Indirect relation tells how the equation will be written.
0.128 : 25 :: 1 : y ________ (A)
After simplifying equation (A), we can easily figure out the value of y (y = 195 sec )
To Find
The time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth = y
Solution
Method I
Let suppose
The time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth = y
Cloth Time
0.128 m 1 sec
25 m y
Relation between cloth and time is direct, so;
0.128 : 25 :: 1 : y
0.128 x y = 1 x 25
0.128y = 25
y = 25/0.128
y = 195.32 sec
The approximate time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth = 195 sec answer
Method II
0.128 m of cloth requires time = 1 sec
1m of cloth requires time = 1 / 0.128
1m of cloth requires time = 7.8 sec
25m of cloth requires time = 7.8 x 25
25m of cloth requires time = 195.32 sec
The approximate time required for the loom to weave 25 m of cloth = 195 sec answer
Conclusion
An industrial loom weaves 0.128 m of cloth every second. Approximately, 25 m of cloth can be weaved in 195 seconds.
