<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.

The answer would be 0.34. Theres 77 humans out of 221 beings, which means 77/221. Simplifying this fraction gives us 0.34.

Find the distance between his house
Hunter-Best [27]

Here we are supposed to find the distance between the two points

Suppose A=(-8,-9), B=(-4,-10)

Now As per the distance formula we know that the distance between two points is given by the formula

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\ \\ D= \sqrt{(-4+8)^2+(-10+9)^2}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-1)^2}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{16+1}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{17} \ miles
