To get a dress 4 her marriage a girl sends her friend to the market to get her a wedding dress, she tells
her friend to buy a dress of x feet & y inches. but her friend gets confused & buys a dress of y feet & x
inches,,this dress what her friend bought is 5/8th of the original dress. what was the orignal measurement?

• Original dress =x ft y inch=12x+y inch
  He bought =yft x inch=12y+x inch
  So, 12y+x=5/8*(12x+y)
  or, x/y=7/4
  So, original dress=7ft 4inches
