Question

the ratio of the length of a rectangular plot to its breadth is 7:3. if the length is 280m,find the breadth of plot.​

Answer 1

Ratio = 7:3

Let the ratio be 7x:3x

Length = 280m

7x = 280

x = 280/7

x = 40

Therefore, Breadth = 3x

= 3 x 40

= 120m

Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The ratio of the length of a rectangular plot to its breadth is 7:3. if the length is 280m.

To Find :-

• The breadth of plot.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let the length of rectangle be 7x

and the breadth of rectangle be 3x

According to the question,

7x = 280

x = 280/7

x = 40

Hence,

The value of x is 40 .

Therefore,

Breadth = 3x

Breadth = 3 × 40

Breadth = 120

Hence,

The breadth of plot = 120 m.
