Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 1147/74.

Answer 2

Answer:

15 1/2 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the field = 286.75 metre square (in decimals for easier calculation)

length of the field = 18.5 m

breadth=?

area of a rectangle = length x breadth

286.75                     = 18.5 x breadth

breadth of rectangle = 286.75 / 18.5  

                                  = 15.5 m

                                  = 15 $\frac{1}{2}$ m
