Question

A rectangular field is 100 m by 80 m. Find the ratio of:
length to its breadth.

Answer 1

It is given that

Length of the rectangular field = 100 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 80 m

Ratio of length to its breadth

= 100: 80

Here the HCF of 100 and 80 is 20

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 20

$=\frac{(100÷20)}{(80÷20)}$

So we get

$=5/4$

$=5:4$
