[2 marks]

• A. $5$ m
• B. $6$ m
• C. $60$ m
• D. $30$ m

Answer 1

The correct option is B $6$ m

Given,
Length of the garden $=50$ m
Area of the garden $=300$ m${}^2$

Area of a rectangle $=$ Length $\times$ Width
[0.5 mark]

$\therefore \text{Width}=\frac{\text{Area of a Rectangle}}{\text{Length}}$
$=\frac{300{\text{m}}^2}{50\text{m}}=6\text{m}$

Thus, width of the garden is $6$ m.
