Answer:
1 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
2 3/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4
1/2 of 11/4 = (11/4)(1/2) = 11/8
11/4 - 11/8 = 22/8 - 11/8 = 11/8
11/8, or 1 3/8 is your answer.

Answer: <u>
100 ft</u>
is the hypotenuse</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
a = 60 and b = 80 are the two known sides
c is the unknown hypotenuse
Applying the pythagorean theorem gets us...
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
60^2 + 80^2 = c^2
3600 + 6400 = c^2
10,000 = c^2
c^2 = 10,000
c = sqrt(10,000)
c = 100
A quick way to see that 100 ft is the missing side is to note that a 6,8,10 right triangle scales up to 60,80,100 after multiplying all three sides by 10.
Or you could start with a 3,4,5 right triangle and multiply all three sides by 20.
