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?

Correct Answer: 195

Explanation:

Let the required time be x seconds.

More metres, More time (Direct Proportion)


∴ 0.128 : 25 :: 1 : x    ⟺    0.128x = 25 x 1



x = 25 = 25 x 1000
0.128 128


x = 195.31.


∴ Required time = 195 sec (approximately).
