A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular area that is 1/8 mile wide by 1/4 mile long. which of the following proportions can the farmer use to calculate how many feet of fencing he will need.

x/3 divided by 4 ft =1 mile/5280ft
3/4 miles divided by x= 1 mine/5280ft
1 mile/5280ft=3/8 miles divided by x
or
1 mile/5280ft=x/3 divided by 8ft
