Ans:
Ratio of length and width of rectangle must be in proportion to the actual length and width of the rectangle.
Let we consider width of rectangle be = x
Given:-
Ratio of Length : Width is = 5 : 2 respectively
Actual Length is = 40 cm
Now we know that, they are in proportion, so we can write them as,
5 : 2 = 40 : x
∴ 5/2 = 40/x
Cross multiplying, we get
5x = 80
x = 16 cm
Therefore width of rectangle is 16 cm.
