<h3>Answer: 17 cards</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

The best case scenario is that you pull 5 cards from the same suit in a row (eg: 5 spades in a row).  However, we have to plan for the worst case scenario that way we can guarantee to have 5 cards in one suit without having to look at the cards.

The worst case scenario is that you pull cards such that you get one suit at a time (eg: spade, heart, club, diamond). On the 5th draw, we finally get a card that repeats a suit.

If we repeat the sequence {spade, heart, club, diamond} in that order a total of two times, then we'll have 8 cards with 2 cards per suit.

Doing that sequence four times we'll have 4*4 = 16 cards and 4 cards per suit. That 17th card will repeat a suit a fifth time and this is when we'll be guaranteed to have at least 5 cards of one suit.

Answer:

French=60,History=120,Music=108

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is trying to represent the degrees of a pie chart.

To find the degree of the pi chart per person you need to 72/12=6

Than to find the amount of degrees per subject multiply 6*amount of students.

Example:

6 \times amoumt \: of \: students \:taking \: music = 6 \times 18 = 108

How many solutions does the system of nonlinear equations graphed below<br> have?
astra-53 [7]

Answer: Look at the number of points where the graphs intersect each other...the points where the graphs of the functions cross each other are the solutions to the system. 

Upon looking, you should see 4 points where the graphs intersect, so there are 4 solutions to the non-linear system of equations.
