    Width = 20yards

    Length = 100 yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The field is 5 times as long as it's widths ...

    Let's represent the width be with "w"

    The length will then become * 5 * w*

    The perimeter of the Rectangular field then becomes:

    Perimeter (P) = 2 (w + l)

    P = 2 (w + 5w)

    But P = 240

    240 = 2w + 10w

    240 = 12w

    Divide through by 12

    w = 240/12

    w = 20 yards

    That is, the width = 20yards

    The length is 5 times the width

    Length = 5*w

    Length = 5*20

    Length = 100 yards

    Width = 20yards

    Length = 100 yards

    Width = 20 yards, length = 100 yards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the field be x yards wide then it's length is 5x yards.

    so x + x + 5x + 5x = 240

    12x = 240

    x = 20.

    width = 20, length = 100 yards.
