If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability that it is an ace or a spade?

A 52-card deck is made up of an equal number of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs. Because there are 4 suits, there is a 1/4 chance to draw one of them, in our case, spades.

There are 4 aces in a 52-card deck, so the chance of drawing one is 4/52, or 1/13.

The question asks for the probability of drawing an ace or a spade. Because it uses the word "or," we add the probabilities together. This is because there is a chance of drawing either of the cards; it doesn't have to meet both requirements to satisfy the statement.

However, if the question were to say "and," we would multiply the two probabilities.

Let's add 1/4 and 1/13. First, we can find a common denominator. We can use 52 because both fractions can multiply into it (since the ratio came from a deck of 52 cards as well).

\frac{1}{4} -- > \frac{13}{52}

\frac{1}{13} -- > \frac{4}{52}

Now we can add them together.

\frac{13}{52} + \frac{4}{52} = \frac{13+4}{52} = \frac{17}{52}

This cannot be simplified further, so the probability is 17 in 52, or 33%.

hope this helps!

Elizabeth is selling jam at a farmers market, and she earns $5.00 for each jar of jam that she sells. Her goal for the weekend i
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

66 jars of jam

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth is selling jam at a farmers market.

She earns $5 for each jar of Jan that she sells

Her goal is to earn $450 during the weekend.

Elizabeth has already made $95 from the sale of her jams and $24 from leading a demonstration

Therefore the total amount that has been made is

= $95 + $24

= $119

Since her target is $450 and she has already made $119 then the amount remaining to complete the target can be calculated as follows

= $450 - $119

= $331

The minimum number of jars that Elizabeth must sell to realize her goal can be calculated as follows

= 331/5

= 66

Hence Elizabeth must sell 66 jars of jam to reach her goal.

Solve c= 8a-3b for a
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(c+3b)/8 = a

Step-by-step explanation:

c= 8a-3b

Add 3b to each side

c+3b= 8a-3b+3b

c+3b = 8a

Divide each side by 8

(c+3b)/8 = 8a/8

(c+3b)/8 = a

6x2y^3/3xy Use Laws of exponents. answer is 2xy^2 but I don't know how to get it. My initial answer was 4y^2​
allsm [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{6x^{2}y^{3}}{3xy}

If it helps, write as a product of fractions, grouped by variable.

\frac{6}{3} \frac{x^{2}}{x} \frac{y^{3}}{y}

Now reduce using exponent rules.

2xy^{2}

I need help with this one asap please and thank you
inna [77]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A

(m² - 3m + 2) / (m² - m)

we see due to a little bit of experience with expressions and multiplications of expressions that

(m² - 3m + 2) = (m - 2)(m - 1)

(m² - m) = m(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m - 1) / (m(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / m

so, that's not it.

B

(m² - 2m + 1) / (m - 1)

we see again

(m² - 2m + 1) = (m - 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 1)(m - 1) / (m - 1) = m - 1

so, that's not it.

C

(m² - m - 2) / (m² - 1)

we see again

(m² - m - 2) = (m - 2)(m + 1)

and

(m² - 1) = (m + 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m + 1) / ((m + 1)(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / (m - 1)

yes, that is the solution.

D

(2m² - 4m) / (2(m - 2))

2m(m - 2) / (2(m - 2)) = 2m/2 = m

no, that is not a solution.
