Question

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

Answer 1

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

Let length be x

x/42= 5/3

3x= 210

x= 70
Hence length is 70 Ans
