X= smaller number
4x= larger number

SMALLER NUMBER
4x - x= 9
combine like terms

3x= 9
divide both sides by 3

x= 3

LARGER NUMBER
4x= 4(3)= 12

ANSWER: The smaller number is 3 and the larger number is 12

Hope this helps! :)

Your friends shuffle the cards and then deal them. Select probability of getting a red card. Select probability of getting a spa

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1/2 ; 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of red cards = 26

Number of spades = 13

Probability of event A :

P(A) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P( red card) = number of red cards / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

P(spade) = number of spades / total cards in deck

P(red card) = 13 / 52 = 1 / 4

An angelfish was 1 1/2 inches long when it was bought. Now it is 2 1/3 inches long.

____ [38]

A)

Earlier, The length of the angelfish = $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches

Now, the length of angelfish = $2 \frac{1}{3}$ inches

We have to determine the grown length of angelfish

= $2 \frac{1}{3}$ - $1 \frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{7}{3}- \frac{3}{2}$

LCM of '2' and '3' is '6',

= $\frac{14-9}{6}$

= $\frac{5}{6}$ inch

Therefore, the angelfish has grown by $\frac{5}{6}$ inch.

B)

We have to determine the increased length of angelfish in feet.

Since $1 inch = \frac{1}{12}$ foot

So, $\frac{5}{6} inch = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{72}$

= 0.069 foot.
