We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence. Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of yours.
We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.
Since the size of your friend's yard is
times your yard, so your friend should purchase
times the 319 feet.



Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.
For this problem, here’s how you do it.
The five digit number, 55,220 contains to 5's and two 2's. The 5's are in the ten thousand and one thousand columns. This means that one five represents 50,000 and the second represents 5, 000. The two's are in the hundreds and tens columns meaning one 2 represents 200 and the other 2 represents 20. In a direct comparison of these numbers the 5's equal 55,000 and the 2's equal 220.
