Question

the ratio of the length of a field to its width is 5:3. find its length if the width is 42 metres . Plz send the answer

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let the l, b are the length and width

width of the rectangular field,

Ratio = l : b = 5 : 3


Width = 42 cm

3 parts = 42

1 part = 42 / 3 = 1 4

Length = l = 5 parts

l = 5 × 14

l = 70 cm

I hope this helps you.
