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

Answer:

let the length = x

if width = 17.5cm

8 : 5 = x : 17.5

5x = 17.5×8

x = (17.5× 8) / 5

x = 140/5

x= 28

so, it's length is 28cm
