Question

please help with this one question thank you.

Answer 1

40/48 = x / 56
48x = 40*66
48x = 2240
x = 46 2/3

answer is A.

46 2/3 yards

Answer 2

Since there are all parallel, we can create a proportion to find the answer.

Let x be the length of plot 3 across Cheshire Road.

$\frac{x}{40} = \frac{56}{48}$

Multiply both sides by 40 to get our answer.

$x= 40* \frac{56}{48}$

Simplify the right side of the equation.

$x= 46 \frac{2}{3}$

Hope this helps and have an awesome day! :)
