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 bench around the larger blueberry farm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$337.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the perimeter of the larger farm.

Since the ratio of the sides of the smaller to

the larger is 4:5, then this will be the ratio of their perimeter too

4/5 = 360/x

4x = 5 * 360

x = (5 * 360)/4

x = 450 yards

Now the cost to dig is $0.75 per yard

For a perimeter of 450, the cost will be 450 * $0.75 = $337.5
