Question

The ratio of length of a playground to its width is 5:2. Find the length if the width is 16m
Pls answer fast

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The ratio of the length of school playground to its width 5:3.

The width of the ground is 66 metre.

To find :

The length of the playground =?

Step-by-step explanation :

Let, the length of the school playground be, 5x.

Then, the breadth of the rectangular playground be, 3x.

It is Given that,

The width of the ground is 66 metre.

So,

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22.

Therefore, We got the value of, x = 22 m.

Now,

The length of the playground,

= 5 × 22

= 110.

Therefore, the length of the school playground = 110 m.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

length of playground : width of playground = 5:2

if width = 16m

:. length of playground = (5/2) ×16

:. length of playground = 5×8

:. length of playground = 40 m

recheck :-

length : width = 5:2

:. 40:16 = 5:2

:. LHS = RHS

hence answer is correct.

hope this will help you..!!
