The correct answer is
100

To solve this problem, we need to determine how many pieces a tailor can make from a given length of cloth. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. We are given that \(37.5 \, \text{m}\) of cloth is available.
  2. It is essential to note that, for every \(3 \, \text{m}\) of cloth, the tailor can make \(8\) pieces.

The first task is to find out how many pieces can be made from \(1 \, \text{m}\) of cloth:

Each \(3 \, \text{m}\) gives \(8\) pieces, so each \(1 \, \text{m}\) gives:

\(\frac{8}{3}\) pieces per meter

Next, calculate how many pieces can be made from \(37.5 \, \text{m}\) of cloth using:

Total pieces = \(37.5 \times \frac{8}{3}\)

Carrying out this multiplication:

\(37.5 \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{300}{3} = 100\)

Thus, the tailor can make \(100\) pieces from \(37.5 \, \text{m}\) of cloth.

Therefore, the correct answer is 100.
