Question

The ratio of the length of the school playground to its width is 5:3. If the sum of
length and breadth of the playground is 88 m, find the length and breadth of
playground.

Answer 1

$\huge \frak \blue{110 m}$

Answer 2

Answer:

40 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length be 5x and breadth 3x

sum of 5x and 3x = 88

5x + 3x = 88

8x = 88

x = 88/8

x=8

length=5x                                  breadth=3x

=5 x 8=40                                               =3 x 8=24
