So first you convert
2 and 5/8 and
1 and 1/2
2 and 5/8=16/8+5/8=21/8
1 and 1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2
so 21/8-3/2
convert so that the denominator (bottom number) is the same
21/8-([3/2][4/4])
21/8-12/8
9/8=1 and 1/8

Chris used 45 meters of fencing to enclose a circular garden. What is the approximate radius of the garden,rounded to the neares
kobusy [5.1K]
The length of the fencing corresponds to the length of the perimeter of the garden:
p=45 m
We also know that the perimeter of a circle is given by:
p=2 \pi r
where r is the radius of the circle.

Putting together the two equations, we have
2 \pi r = 45
from which we can find r, the radius of the garden:
r= \frac{45}{2 \pi}= \frac{45}{2 \cdot 3.14}=7.17 m
