<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}

The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 4:5. How many boys are in the school if there are 720 students.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: 320 boys

Step-by-step explanation: you would first take the total number (720) and divide it by the total number shown in the ratio (5+4=9)

720/9= 80

You would then take 80 and multiply it by 4 because that is the number representing the boys

80*4= 320

Scrat [10]

Answer: -4

Step-by-step:

-x^2+5x-1 x _ = 4x^2-20x+4

4x^2-20x+4 / -x^2+5x-1

In the blank the answer would be -4 which is the monomial.

For an angle Θ with the point (12, −5) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Given that the point (12,-5) which takes the form (x,y), This implies that:
opposite=-5
adjacent=12
thus using using Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse will be:
c^2=a^2+b^2
plugging the values we obtain:
c^2=(12)^2+(-5)^2
c^2=144+15
c^2=169
thus
c=13
but
cos θ=adjacent/ hypotenuse
therefore:
cos θ=12/13

Answer is option . D
