Answer:
The other number is 70.4
Step-by-step explanation:
176 ÷ 2 = 88
88 - 20% = 70.4
20% of 88 is 17.6
88 + 17.6 = 105.6
105.6 + 70.4 = 176

It depends on the given information.
McKenzie's work is correct if the two short sides are given as 5 and 13.
Cara's work is correct is almost correct if 5 is one leg, and 13 is the hypotenuse. The exact answer is 12, but she wrote it as approximately equal. That's her only problem.
By the way, Ddssaa122: when posting questions, the power of a number is written as 5^2 and not 52. If you copy and paste, please make sure you add the caret sign to indicate a power, or else you will suffer by getting a wrong answer. 5^2=5*5, 52=4*13, so they are not the same.
We need first consider what data we have available:
a = run 1.5km
b = then run 2.3km
c = walk 475m
x = a + b + c = how many km he done on treadmill
before we go anywhere, we need to unify the units, we need to change meters to fraction of kilometers, kilo meant 1000, therefore:
1km = 1000m
475m / 1000m = 0.475km
now we can substitute:
x = a + b + c = 1.5km + 2.3km + 0.475km = 4.275km
we can round that up to first decimal point and then:
4.275km = 4.3km
answer is then:
jack done on the treadmill 4.275km or rounded up 4.3km
