A 350m barbed fenced around the rectangular field, the length is 5 times more than its breadth find the dimension of its breadth
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

L + B + L + B = 350,  (1)
L = 6B.               (2)

Simplify:

L + B =  = 175,   (1')
L = 6B.                (2')

Substitute (2') into (1'). You will get

7B = 175  --->  B =  = 25.

Answer.  The breadth is 25 m.
