You can simplify a fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by it's greatest common factor (GCF)

Reducing a fraction to lowest terms aka simplest form, you have to divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor). As an example 12/36, they share 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 to convert it to its simplest form you want to select the GCF which in this case is 12 to convert it into its simplest form 1/3.

11. One card is drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. Find the probabilities of drawing the following.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

3/4
4/13
7/26
2/13
5.52

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Probability (A heart or a black card) = 13 + 26 / 52
Probability (A heart or a black card) = 39/52
Probability (A heart or a black card) = 3/4

(b)

Probability (A heart or a jack) = 13 + 3 / 52
Probability (A heart or a jack) = 16/52
Probability (A heart or a jack) = 4/13

(c)

Probability (A heart and the ace of clubs) = 13 + 1 / 52
Probability (A heart and the ace of clubs) = 14/52
Probability (A heart and the ace of clubs) = 7/26

(d)

Probability (A 9 or a jack) = 4 + 4 / 52
Probability (A 9 or a jack) = 8/52
Probability (A 9 or a jack) = 2/13

(e)

Probability (The 9 of hearts or a jack) = 1 + 4 / 52
Probability (The 9 of hearts or a jack) = 5/52
