Given:

Cheshire Road Shelby Road

Plot 1 40 yards 48 yards

Plot 3 x 56 yards

To solve for x, we get the ratio and proportion of both plots.

40/48 = x/56

Do cross multiplication.

40 * 56 = 48 * x

2,240 = 48x

2,240/48 = 48x/48

46.67 = x

Plot 3 of Chesire Road measures 46.67 or 46 2/3 yards. Choice A.
