Question

The ratio of length of a school ground to its width is 5:2 . Find the length if width is 40m?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Width of the school ground =40m

Ratio of length to width of ground =5:2.

Let,

Length of the school ground =5x

Width of the school ground =2x

                                       2x = 40

                                          x=20                                        

∴ Length of the school ground =5x

                                                    =5(20)

                                                    =100m

Hope it helps....

The ratio of length of a school ground to its width is 5:2 . Find the length if width is 40m?

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \huge {\underline {\underline \red{AnSwEr}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Given

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Ratio of length and width = 5 : 2

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Width = 40m

⠀⠀⠀⠀

To Find

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Length of school ground

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Solution

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let length and width be 5x and 2x respectively.

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies Width = 40m$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies 2x = 40$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies x = 40 \div 2$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies x = 20m$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now Length = 5x

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies Length = 5x$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies 5 \times 20$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\bf \implies 100m$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hence, Length of the school ground is 100m.
