An industrial loom weaves 0.128 metres of cloth every second. Approximately, how many seconds will it take for the loom to weave 25 metres of cloth ?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Let the required time be x seconds
Then,
More metres, More time (direct proportion)
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore 0.128:25::1:x \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{25}}{{0.128}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{25 \times 1000}}{{128}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 195.31 \cr} $$`
∴ Required time =195 seconds (approx)
