In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Valentino needs 1 \frac{3}{4} more pounds of chicken for the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

You just need to know how to subtract fractions.

Valentino needs 4 and 1/2 pounds of chicken for a recipe, and he already has 2 and 3/4. We want to know how many more pounds of chicken we need, so you subtract.

4 1/2 - 2 3/4 = 4 2/4 - 2 3/4

= 1 3/4

Valentino needs 1 and 3/4 pounds of chicken still.
