Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

L= 70m & W=42m

Step-by-step explanation:

given ratio of length and width= 5:3

length= 5x and width= 3x

Given breadth= 42m

3x=42=> 14

x= 14

L=5x= 5*14=> 70

L=70m and width 42m

Answer 2

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

$⟹\sf{3x = 42m}3x=42m$

$⟹ \sf{x = \frac{42}{3} = 14}$

$⟹ \sf\underline\red{x = 14}$

⊱ Now,

length = 5x

$⟹ \sf{5 × 14}$

$⟹ \sf{70m}$

Hence,

Length of the field is 70m
