To find out how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain, we need to perform some calculations.

First, let’s convert the given measurements into a consistent unit, such as centimeters.

2 meters is equivalent to 200 centimeters (1 meter = 100 centimeters).

Therefore, 2 meters 15 centimeters is equivalent to 215 centimeters (200 centimeters + 15 centimeters).

Now, let’s calculate how many shirts can be stitched from the given 40 meters of cloth.

Since each shirt requires 215 centimeters of cloth, we can divide 40 meters (40,000 centimeters) by 215 centimeters to determine the number of shirts that can be made.

Number of shirts = 40,000 centimeters ÷ 215 centimeters ≈ 186.05 shirts.

However, we can’t have a fraction of a shirt, so we’ll round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, you can stitch 186 shirts from the given 40 meters of cloth.

To calculate the remaining cloth, we need to subtract the total cloth used for stitching the shirts from the initial 40 meters.

Total cloth used for stitching = 186 shirts × 215 centimeters per shirt = 39,990 centimeters.

Remaining cloth = 40,000 centimeters – 39,990 centimeters = 10 centimeters.

Hence, after stitching 186 shirts, there will be 10 centimeters of cloth remaining.
