Mathematics

A tailor had a number of shirt pieces to cut from rolls of fabric. He cut each roll of equal length into 10 pieces, making 45 cuts per minute. How many rolls would be cut in 24 minutes?

A
120 rolls
B
110 rolls
C
100 rolls
D
130 rolls
Explanation and memory cue

To cut one roll into 10 pieces, the tailor needs 9 cuts per roll. In 24 minutes at 45 cuts per minute, he makes 24 × 45 = 1080 cuts. 1080 cuts ÷ 9 cuts per roll = 120 rolls.
