Jill has 120 feet of fencing to use for her horse paddock. To increase the area she can enclose, she plans on using the side of

the barn as one side of her paddock as shown below.
Determine which equation can be used to find the dimensions of the horse paddock when the area is 1,800 square feet. Let x represent the width of the paddock.

2x2 - 120x = 1,800
-x2 + 120x = 1,800
x2 - 120x = 1,800
-2x2 + 120x = 1,800

Answer: <span>-x2 + 120x = 1,800
</span><span>
She plans on using the side of the barn as one side of her paddock so it has 3 sides. Since the width is shorter, it will be more efficient to have 2 widths (1 lengths and 2 widths). Because J</span><span>ill has 120 feet of fencing to use, you can get this equation:
120ft= 1L +2W
</span>1L= 120-2W

If you insert it into area formula it would be:
area= L*W
area= (120-2W) *W
area= 120W- 2W^2
-2W^2+120W= area

<span>Since x represent the width of the paddock and the area is 1800 the equation become
</span>-2X^2+120X= 1,800

Do all ratios compare a part to a whole number? Explain
STALIN [3.7K]
Yes and no... 

A ratio can be defined in a new ways. Let's say I have a party with twelve people, four of whom are male and eight of whom are female. The ratio of male to female guests would be written as 4:8, neither of which is the whole number (12) but which instead relate parts of the whole. I could alternatively write the ratio of male guests to total guests as 4/12. This does compare it to the whole. A ratio relates two quantities by showing how many times one quantity is contained within or contains another quantity.

By the phrasing of your question, I'm not sure if you maybe mean whole number as an integer. If that's the case, then yes, ratios are almost always written as integers. If I had something like 8.5:7, I would multiply it by two to get 17:14, which is a correct ratio.
