Answer:

Let x be the width of the rectangle.

Then according to problem, length=5x.

We know area of a rectangle=length*width =x*5x

Given: x*5x=125

=> 5x^2=125

=> x^2=> 125/5 =25

=>x=5

hence width is 5inches and length is 25inches

Naddik [55]

Let the number of cards in each group be 2x and 3x.
So,
2x + 3x = 120
5x = 120
x = 120 / 5
x = 24
Number of cards in each group is
2x = 2 × 24 = 48
3x = 3 × 24 = 72
