120 is correct.
When you have 1roll, you don't cut on the sides, the terminals. We only cut the mid parts. Try cutting a piece of paper using a scissor, you will have 9 cuts not 10.

9 pieces per roll. 45 pieces ÷ 9 = 5.
5 * 24= 120.
5 * 24= 120.

Tailor cuts each roll of equal length into 10 pieces (clearly it was mentioned, so no need to consider 9 cuts and all).
He cuts at the rate of 45 pieces per minute.
so per minute he cuts 45/10 = 4.5 rolls per minute,
So for 24 minutes: 24 * 4.5 = 108 rolls.
He cuts at the rate of 45 pieces per minute.
so per minute he cuts 45/10 = 4.5 rolls per minute,
So for 24 minutes: 24 * 4.5 = 108 rolls.

In each minute, he cuts 4 and a half roll (4.5 roll).
So in 24 minutes he cuts 108 rolls.
So in 24 minutes he cuts 108 rolls.

He cuts 5 rolls(45/9=5) In a minute, to cut within 24 minutes, 24*5 = 120 rolls.

In question not clearly define all roll fabric cut or 10 pieces equal length cut from roll fabric
If all roll fabric cut then the answer is 120.
If 10 pieces equal length cut then answer is 108.
If all roll fabric cut then the answer is 120.
If 10 pieces equal length cut then answer is 108.
