Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 12:6

we can also write the ratio is 2:1

then we can see 2x=160

then x=80.

Hence breadth is 80cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

LENGTH:BREADTH= 12:6

SIMPLEST FORM OF LENGTH:BREADTH= 12/6=2/1=2:1

2x=160

x=160/2

x=80

BREADTH= 80 CM
