A. $5,330 B.$3,360
C. $1,350 D.$360
E. $150 The first step is to figure out the total number of acres that the farmer wants to rent. Since we are given that the farmland is a rectangular plot, the area must be 360*605. The total number of acres is $$\frac{360*605}{43560} = \frac{36*605}{4356} = \frac{605}{121} = 5$$ Therefore, the cost that the farmer pays in a month is $$5*30 = 150$$(Option E) _________________ You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got Intern Joined: 17 May 2018 Posts: 43 Re: A certain farmer pays$30 per acre per month to rent farmland.

By rounding the size of the land to 400 x 600, the land size is approximately 240,000 square feet. That is approximately 5 times 43,000 square feet. So the best answer is definitely E, as the other possible choices are too high.
