Question

In a rectangle the ratio of the length to the width is 5/6. If the width is 30, find the length.

Answer 1

`\huge{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{navy}{An}}{\red{sw}}{\orange{er}} {\color{yellow}{:}}}}}`

let length of the rectangle be x

so, from the question

`(5)/(6) = (x)/(30) \\`

by cross multiplication,

`150 = 6x \\ x = (150)/(6) \\ x = 25`

x = 25.
