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. What is the perimeter of the larger blueberry farm?

Answer 1

Answer: 450 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that two blueberry farms are similar in shape and that the ratio of the side lengths of the farms is 4 : 5, and the smaller farm has a perimeter of 360 yards.

Since the smaller side which is denoted by 4 has a perimeter of 360, we divide 360 by 4 and then multiply the answer by 5 to get the perimeter of the larger blueberry farms. This will be:

= 360/4 × 5

= 90 × 5

= 450 yards
