sol:Total length of the cloth=24 yards
\n" ); document.write( "the length of the cloth after removing 3 pieces of length 31/2 yards=24-(3*3.5)
\n" ); document.write( "(i.e 1/2=0.5,3 1/2=3+0.5=3.5)
\n" ); document.write( "=24-10.5
\n" ); document.write( "=24.0-10.5=13.5
\n" ); document.write( "now the length of the cloth=13.5 yards
\n" ); document.write( "again the length of the cloth after removing 5 pieces of length 2 1/4 yards=13.5-(5*2.25)
\n" ); document.write( "(i.e;1/4=0.25,2 1/4=2+.25=2.25)
\n" ); document.write( "=13.5-11.25
\n" ); document.write( "=13.50-11.25
\n" ); document.write( "=2.25 yards
\n" ); document.write( "the length of the remaining cloth=2.25 yard \n" ); document.write( "
