Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

A tailor needs $3\frac{2}{5}$ meters of cloth to make 1 poncho.

It other words, for making 1 poncho, tailor needs cloth = $3\frac{2}{5}$ meters

Converting mixed number into fraction

For making 1 poncho, tailor needs cloth = $\frac{17}{5}$

Hence making 15 ponchos, tailor needs cloth = $\frac{17}{5}*15$

Hence making 15 ponchos, tailor needs cloth = $17*3= 51$

Hence 51 meters of cloth is required.    :  Answer
