The volume of a wall, 5 times as high as it is broad and 8 times as long as it is high, is 12.8 cu. meters. Find the breadth of the wall.

Correct Answer: 40cm

Explanation:

Let the breadth of the wall be x metres. 


Then, Height = 5x metres and Length = 40x metres.  


x * 5x * 40x = 12.8   


=> x 3   = 12 . 8 / 200   =   128 / 2000   = 64 / 1000   


=> x = 4/10 m  


=> x = (4/10)*100 = 40 cm
