Find ratio of area of garden to area of the garden including walkway.
...
garden area = 49*35=1715 ft^2
...
garden with walkway area = 56*40 = 2200
...
area of walkway = 2200-1715=475 sq.ft
...
perimeter of garden = 2*(49+35)=168
..
perimeter with walkway= 2*(56+40)=192
..
ratio of perimeters = 168/192 = 0.87
..
ratio of area = 1715/2200 =0.78
