Question

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

Answer 1

Given:

• length and width of the field in ratio = 5:3
• width of the field = 42m

To Find:

length of the field

Solution:

Let the length and width of the field be "5x" and "3x" metres

⊱ width = 42m

$⟹$$\sf{3x = 42m}$

$⟹$$\sf{x = \frac{42}{3} = 14}$

$⟹$$\sf\underline\red{x = 14}$

⊱ Now,

length = 5x

$⟹$$\sf{5 × 14}$

$⟹$$\sf{70m}$

Hence,

length of the field is 70m
