Question

The ratio of the length of the field to its width is 5 : 3 . Find its length and the width is 42 meter.2marks​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Length =5:3

suppose the length and width of the field be 5xm and 3xm respectively

Width =42m

3x=42

x=

3

42

=14

∴length=5x=5×14=70m

Answer 2

Answer:

Given -

• width = 42 m
• Ratio of length to its width.

To find -

• Length of the field.

Solution -

Let the length of the field be 5x and width be 3x respectively.

→ 3x = 42

→ x = 42/3

→ x = 14

Here, we get the value of x , So we can find out the length -

• 5x = 5 × 14 = 70 m.

Therefore, the length of the field is 70 m.
