Question

The road to the park has an area of 1995 sq. ft and a width of 21 ft. The value of A and B in the following statements are .

• A. A = 1995, B = 85
• B. A = 1995, B = 95
• C. A = 85, B = 1995
• D. A = 95, B = 1995

Answer 1

The correct option is B A = 1995, B = 95

$\text{Total area of the road}=1995sq.ft$
$\text{Total width of the road}=21ft$

$\text{So, Dividend}=1995\text{and Divisor =}21$

∴ The division statement will be
$1995÷21$

$\text{Calculating}1995÷21\text{by box method, we get}$


Hence, the quotient is 95.
$\text{The multiplication equation is}21\times 95=1995$

Comparing the values to the given statements,
$A=1995$ ; $B=95$.

Hence, the statements can be completed as:
