Question

The ratio of length and breadth of a field is 5: 7. Find its the length if breadth is 56 m.
explain with explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the length and breadth of a field is 5x and 7x respectively

according to the question

breadth of a field = 56m

7x=56

x=8

length of a field = 5x = 5×8=40m

length and breadth of a field is 40 and 56m respectively

Answer 2

let the length be 5x

breadth be 7x

but breadth = 56

therefore, 7x = 56

=》 x =56/7

=》x =8

therefore, length = 5x

=5×8

=40
