Question

Length and width of a field are in the ratio 5 : 3. If the width of the field is 42 m then its length is:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lenght be 5x and width be 3x

Given that width =42

3x=42

x=42/3

x=14m

Width =3*14=52m

Lenght =5*14=70m

I hope this will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

let length= y

ratio= length/width = 5/3

5/3= y/42

5×42/3

= 70

hence answer is 70
