Question

The length of a rectangular field is 280 m. If the ratio between the length and breadth of the field is 5 : 3 , then the breadth of the field will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

168 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We will multiply a constant k to both ratios to find the breadth and length.

length : breadth

5k : 3k

So, 5k is the length which in turn is 280 m.

5k = 280 m

 k  = 56 m

Now, we just find the breadth with this constant k.

breadth = 3k

breadth = 3 x 56 m

breadth = 168 m

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Answer:

168

Step-by-step explanation:

length=5x say

breadth=3x say actually 5x=280 so x=56 so breadth =3x=3(56)=168
