Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards of plaid ribbon.

She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Converting 2 5/6 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 17/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon.

The total number of yards of ribbon that Kristin has would be

11/3 + 17/6 = (22 + 17)/6 = 39/6 yards of ribbon.

Converting to decimal, it becomes 6.5 yards of ribbon. Approximating 6.5 to the nearest yards, it becomes 7 yards. This is because the first digit after the decimal point is 5 and thus, can be rounded up

For the following exercises, evaluate the function f at the values f(−2), f(−1), f(0), f(1), and f(2)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

See below.  <u><em>I assume that (x) = 8x2 - 7x + 3 is really (x) = 8x^2 - 7x + 3</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of x given in f(x) into the equation f(x) = 8x^2 - 7x + 3

For example, f(0) would be f(0) = 8(0)^2 - 7(0) + 3.  f(0) = 3

f(-2) would be f(-2) = 8(-2)^2 - 7(-2) + 3.  

                                =   8*4  + 14 +3

                                = 32 + 17        therefore      f(-2) = 49

A card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is:
melomori [17]

probability that the card drawn is:

  1. an ace or a king  = 0.1538
  2. a king or a diamond = 0.3269

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. We need to find that Find the probability that the card drawn is:

  • an ace or a king

A deck of standard 52 cards contain four aces. There are four kings in a standard deck of playing cards. So ,we need to find probability that card drawn is either a ace or king i.e.

probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{8}{52}

⇒ probability = 0.1538

  • a king or a diamond

A deck of standard 52 cards contain four kings. There are 13 Diamonds in a standard deck of playing cards. So ,we need to find probability that card drawn is either a ace or king i.e.

probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{(13+4=17)}{52}

⇒ probability = \frac{(17)}{52}

⇒ probability =0.3269

Therefore, probability that the card drawn is:

  1. an ace or a king  = 0.1538
  2. a king or a diamond = 0.3269
