Question

A rectangular napkin costs $3.25. A similar tablecloth is five times longer and five times wider. How much would you expect to pay for the tablecloth?

Answer 1

Cloth cost is based on its area
Here napkin costs $3.25
A similar tablecloth is 5 times longer and 5 times wider. S its area is 25 times the area of the napkin. So its cost will also be 25 times of the cost of napkin
\[Cost\ of\ Tablecloth= $3.25 \times 25=$81.25\]
