5:3

Solution:

Concept:

The ratio compares length and width in the same units.

Explanation:

Given ratio is length : width =

5 : 3

The length corresponds to 5 equal parts, and its actual value is

25\,\text{m}

So, one part equals

\frac{25}{5} = 5\,\text{m}

The width corresponds to 3 parts.

Therefore, width

= 3 \times 5 = 15\,\text{m}

Answer:

15\,\text{m}
