Question

51. A field is rectangular and its width is 1/3 as long as its length. What is the area of the field in square
yards, if the length of the field is 120 yards?
.(A) 480
(B) 2400 (C) 4800 (D) 5000​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 120 yards

Width =

$\frac{1}{3} \times 120$

= 40 yards

Area of the field = 120 × 40

$4800 {yard}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

width is 1/3 as long as length.

Flied is in rectangular in shape.

To find: Area of the field if length is 120 yards.

let length of the field = x

width of the field = $\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{x}{3}$

From given length,

Width = 120/3 = 40 yards.

We know that,

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

Area of the Field = 120 × 40 = 4800 yard²

Therefore, Option C is correct.
