Question

Length and breadth of a rectangular field is 5 : 3. If the breadth of rectangle is 60m, find the length of the rectangle.

Answer 1

5m

Explanation:

Given data

Ratio of length to breadth is 5 : 3

hence in fraction form it is 5/3

the breadth of rectangle is 60m

let the length be x

So

5/3= x/3

cross multiply we have

5*3= 3x

15= 3x

divide both sides by 3

x= 15/3

x= 5m

Hence the length is 5m
