A 120 m by 50 m field is split among three sisters in the ratio on the card. Bina's part is shaded orange. What percentage of the field is hers, and what is its area?

Question

Accepted Answer

25%, 1,500 m². Total parts = 7 + 5 + 8 = 20, so Bina has 5/20 = 25\%. Field area = 120 × 50 = 6000\ m^2, and 25% of 6000 is 1500\ m^2. 20% would be taking 5 out of 25; 5% treats 5 parts as 5 out of 100.
