Ramu bought 2 m 70 cm cloth for his shirt and 2 m 60 cm cloth for his pyjamas. Find the total length of cloth bought by him.

Answer

To find the total length of cloth that Ramu bought, we need to add the lengths of the cloth for his shirt and pajamas together.

1. **Convert the measurements to the same unit**:
- Ramu bought 2 meters 70 centimeters for his shirt.
- Ramu bought 2 meters 60 centimeters for his pajamas.
- Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, we can convert the meters to centimeters for easier addition.
- For the shirt:
- 2 meters = 200 centimeters
- 70 centimeters = 70 centimeters
- Total for shirt = 200 cm + 70 cm = 270 cm
- For the pajamas:
- 2 meters = 200 centimeters
- 60 centimeters = 60 centimeters
- Total for pajamas = 200 cm + 60 cm = 260 cm

2. **Add the lengths together**:
- Now, we will add the total lengths of cloth for the shirt and pajamas:
- Total length = Length of shirt + Length of pajamas
- Total length = 270 cm + 260 cm

3. **Calculate the total**:
- 270 cm + 260 cm = 530 cm

4. **Convert back to meters and centimeters** (if required):
- Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, we can convert 530 cm back to meters and centimeters:
- 530 cm = 5 meters and 30 centimeters (because 500 cm = 5 m and 30 cm remains).

Therefore, the total length of cloth bought by Ramu is **5 meters 30 centimeters**.
