The ratio between length and breath of rectangular field is 5:3. If the length is 120 cm,find the breadth of the field
5/3 = 120/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
5:3=25÷x
To find the breadth of the rectangular field, we need to use the given ratio between the length and breadth.
Given:
Ratio of length to breadth = 5:3
Length of field = 120 cm
To find the breadth, we can set up the following proportion:
Length: Breadth = 5:3
Let's substitute the given values into the proportion:
120 cm: Breadth = 5:3
To find the breadth, we can cross-multiply and solve for it:
120 cm * 3 = Breadth * 5
360 cm = Breadth * 5
To isolate the breadth, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
Breadth = 360 cm / 5
Breadth = 72 cm
Therefore, the breadth of the rectangular field is 72 cm.
