Let's solve this fabric usage problem step by step. A clothing factory originally used 3.2 meters of fabric per suit. After improving their cutting method, they now use only 2.8 meters per suit. We need to find how many suits can be made with the fabric that originally made 791 suits.
Now let's calculate the total amount of fabric. We multiply the fabric used per suit by the number of suits. Originally, each suit used 3.2 meters of fabric, and 791 suits were made. So the total fabric is 3.2 times 791, which equals 2531.2 meters.
Now we calculate how many suits can be made with the improved method. We divide the total fabric of 2531.2 meters by the new fabric usage of 2.8 meters per suit. This gives us 904 suits that can be made with the same amount of fabric.
Let's compare the results. With the original method, 791 suits were made using 3.2 meters per suit. With the improved method, 904 suits can be made using 2.8 meters per suit. The difference is 904 minus 791, which equals 113 additional suits. This shows the efficiency gained from the improved cutting method.
