If 10 metres of materials cost 1500 naira how much will 2 metres cost

1 answer

To find the cost of 2 meters of material, we can set up a proportion.

Let's call the cost of 2 meters of material "x" and set up the proportion:

10 meters / 1500 naira = 2 meters / x

Cross-multiplying, we get:

10x = 1500 * 2

10x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 10, we find:

x = 3000 / 10 = 300

Therefore, 2 meters of material will cost 300 naira.
