the ratio of a shorter walkway to a longer walkway is 3 to 5. the lenght of the sorter walkway is 45 meters. what is the lenght of the longer walkway

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s- shorter walkway, l- longer walkway.

Given:

  • s/l = 3/5
  • s = 45 m

Find the length of l:

  • 45/l = 3/5
  • l = 45*5/3
  • l = 75 m

Answer:

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \: length = 75 \: metres[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Now let's find out what's the length of the long walkway–

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \: \frac{3}{5} = \frac{45}{\: length\: of \:longer\: walkway} [/tex]

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \: \: length\: of \:longer\: walkway= \frac{45 \times \: 5 }{3} [/tex]

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \: length\: of \:longer\: walkway= 75 \: metres[/tex]

The length of the longer walkway is [tex]\sf\longmapsto \: length = 75 \: metres[/tex]
