Answer:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13
C I believe the -2 part that was the one just looked it up on google XD hope it helped

Answer:
- -3/13 ≈ -1/4
- -6/11 ≈ -1/2
- -7/9 ≈ -3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll drop all the minus signs, since they don't contribute anything but distraction.
When numerators or denominators are relatively large, changing their value by 1 unit will have a relatively small effect on the value of the fraction. For example, ...
3/13 ≈ 3/12 = 1/4
If we compare the decimal values of these fractions, we see that ...
3/13 ≈ 0.230769... (6-digit repeating decimal)
The closest of the offered "reasonable estimate" fractions is 1/4 = 0.25.

Likewise, 6/11 ≈ 6/12 = 1/2. In decimal, these fractions are ...
6/11 = 0.54... (2-digit repeat)
1/2 = 0.5
__
We can also increase or decrease both numerator and denominator by the same amount to get a fraction with nearly the same value. This works best when the numbers are larger.
7/9 ≈ 6/8 = 3/4 . . . . . . both numerator and denominator decreased by 1
In decimal, these are ...
7/9 = 0.7... (1-digit repeat)
3/4 = 0.75
