Question

The length of a rectangular field is 7/5 its width. If the perimeter of the field is 240 meters, what are the length and width of the field?

Answer 1

so, you can let width =x
' length of a rectangular field is 7/5 its width' gives you length =7x/5
right ? got this ?

Answer 2

Yah

Answer 3

Perimeter = 2 (length + breadth)
so, 240 = 2 (x+7x/5)
can you solve this simple linear equation in 'x' ?

Answer 4

**Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

Answer 5

what you got x=... ?
