Question

10. The ratio of the length of a rectangular
playground to its breadth is 5:2. If the length
is 235 m, find the breadth of the playground.​

Answer 1

Answer :

94m

Explanation :

In a rectangular playground,

• Length : Breadth = 5 : 2

And the length is 235m. Find the breadth.

Let's assume,

• length = $\boldsymbol{5x}$
• Breadth = $\boldsymbol {2x}$

$\therefore\boldsymbol{5x = 235}$

$\implies \: \boldsymbol{x = \dfrac{235}{5} }$

$\implies \: \boldsymbol{x = 47}$

Hence, the breadth will be,

$= \boldsymbol{2x}$

$= \boldsymbol{2(47)}$

$= \boldsymbol{94} \sf \: m$
