Question

a 11. The ratio of length of a rectangular swimming pool to its breadth is 5:2. If the length is 55 m, find its breadth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the length of a rectangular swimming pool to its breadth is 5:2. If the length is 55 m then breadth is 22 cm.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of length of a rectangular swimming pool to its breadth = 5:2  

if common multiple is x

then length = 5x and breadth = 2x

As per given condition length = 55 m

So,

$5x = 55\\x = \frac{55}{5} = 11 m$

And breadth $= 2x = 2(11) = 22 cm$

Answer 2

Answer:

22cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio = 5:2= 5/2

length= 55cm

breadth= 22cm
