The unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20

Let the unknown number be "x"

The sum of the number and 1.75 is expressed as x + 1.75

Half the sum of a number and 1.75 is 1/2(x+1.75)

Equating the result to -5.1 wil give:

1/2(x+1.75) = -5.1

Solve the resulting equation

x + 1.75 = 2(-5.1)

x + 1.75 = -10.2

x = -10.2 - 1.75

x = 11.95

x = 1195/100

x = 11 95/100

Hence the unknown number expressed as a mixed fraction is 11 19/20

LaShaundra is buying fence for two triangular sections of her garden.

mixas84 [53]

Answer: 80 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see in the figure, triangle ABC and the triangle DFG are similar.

2. The scale of factor of triangle ABC to triangle DFG is the following:

$sf=\frac{20ft}{4ft}\\sf=5ft$

3. Therefore, the lenght of the side DG of the trinagle DFG is:

$DG=5*AC\\DG=5*7ft\\DG=35ft$

4. The perimeter of the triangle DFG is:

$P_{DFG}=20ft+25ft+35ft=80ft$

5. Therefore, she would need 80 feet of fence.
