<h2>Answer:</h2>

6\frac{1}{2}<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: 4\frac{1}{2} ft.

Length of one side: 2\frac{3}{4} ft.

If one side measures 2\frac{3}{4} ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11

<h3>2. How much more does he need?</h3>

The gardener already has  4\frac{1}{2} , which equals 4 + \frac{1}{2}. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

11-(4+\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-(\frac{8}{2} +\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-\frac{9}{2}= \\ \\\frac{22}{2} -\frac{9}{2}=\\\\ \frac{13}{2}

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

\frac{13}{2} =\\ \\\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2}= \\ \\6+\frac{1}{2}=\\ \\6\frac{1}{2}

SOMEONE PLSSSS HELP!!! Explain the difference in the graphs of Car #1 and Car #2. What is the Slope of each? Why is one line ste
dusya [7]

Answer:

Car 1 slope = 35

Car 2 slope = 40

Red line(car 2) is steeper than the blue line(car 1)

slope is miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

To find slope, pick two points from graph of Car 1

(4,140) (6,210)

slope Car1= \frac{210-140}{6-4}= 35

To find slope, pick two points from graph of Car 2

(3,120) (5,200)

slope Car 2= \frac{200-120}{5-3}= 40

When slope is larger then line is steeper

slope of Car 2 is greater than slope of Car1

So Red line is steeper than the blue line.

Slope is change is y over change in x

It means Change in miles over change in gallons

So slope is miles per gallon

8) BRAINLIEST + 15+ POINTS! :)<br><br> Which of the following is a graph of y=1/2 x +1
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rule out the second and third because the y intercept in those graphs are not 1

Now lets look at the point 2,5 on graph a

y=1/2x+1

so 5=1+1 but that is false

D is the answer by elimination

In how many ways can a committee of four men and four woman be formed from a group of seven men and eleven women?
-Dominant- [34]
Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.

Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550
