Question

the area of a room is 65 1/4 sq.metres. if its breadth is 5 1/16 what is the length

Answer 1

Let the length be a

Area = Length × Breadth

=> 65 1/4 = a × 5 1/16

=> 261 / 4 = a × 81 / 16

=> a = 261 × 16 / 81 × 4

=> a = 29 × 4 / 9

=> a = 116 /9

=> a = 12 8/9

Length = 12 8/9 m

Answer 2

Let the length be a

Area = Length × Breadth

=> 65 1/4 = a × 5 1/16

=> 261 / 4 = a × 81 / 16

=> a = 261 × 16 / 81 × 4

=> a = 29 × 4 / 9

=> a = 116 /9

=> a = 12 8/9

Length = 12 8/9 m
