    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.
