Let the length of the field be L.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width.
In this case, we are given that the width of the field is 68m and the perimeter is 328m.
So we have 328 = 2L + 2(68).
Distributing the 2 to each term inside the parentheses, we get 328 = 2L + 136.
Subtracting 136 from both sides, we get 192 = 2L.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get L = 96.
Therefore, the length of the field is 96m.
