Question

Two blueberry farms are similar in shape. The ratio of the side lengths of the farms is 4:5, and the smaller farm has a perimeter of 360 yards. The cost to dig a trench is $0.75 per yard. What is the cost to dig a trench around the larger blueberry farm?

Answer 1

$337.5

Explanation:

4:5=360:x 360/4=90 90+360=450 check 360/450=0.8 and 4/5=0.8

4:5=360:450

larger farm perimeter is 450 yards so dig a trench 0.75 per yard

so 450 * 0.75 = $337.5

Hope this helps! :)
