Question

The area of a room is 261 by 87 squire if its breadth is 87 by 4 metres what is its length

Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN :

Area= 261/4 m^2

Length= 87/16

Breadth= ?

SOLUTION:

Area = l * b

261/4 = 87/16 * l

Transposing,

261 * 16 ÷ 87 * 4

Cancelling,

261 * 4 ÷ 87

1044/87

= 348/29

= 12

Therefore,

Breadth= 87/16 m

length= 12 m
