Question

The ratio of the length and the width of a rectangular sheet of paper is 8: 5. If the width of
the sheet is 17.5 cm, find its length.
【Let length = x cm 8:5 = X: 17.5】​

Answer 1

Let length of sheet = x cm

Ratio in length and breadth = 8:5

and width = 17.5 cm

8:5 = x:17.5

=> 8/5 = x/17.5 => 8 × 17.5 = x × 5

=> x = (8 × 17.5)/5 = 8 × 3.5 = 28

Length of sheet = 28 cm
