Question

The area of a big rectangle is $6$ times the area of a small rectangle. If the length of the big rectangle is equal to the length of the small rectangle and the width of the big rectangle is $2m$, what is the width of the small rectangle?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}m$
• B. $1m$
• C. $2m$
• D. $6m$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac{1}{3}m$

Area of a rectangle is $6$ times the area of a small rectangle

Length of both the rectangles are equal

Let the breadth of smaller rectangle be $x$

Given,

Breadth of bigger rectangle $=2x$

$\therefore 6\times l\times x=l\times 2$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{6}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}$
