Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a 7 + Probability of not getting a 7 = 1.

Odds against drawing a 7 = Probability of not getting a 7.

We could calculate the probability of getting a 7 and subtract 1 from it to get the answer.

There a four sevens in a deck of card, one of each kind.

Probability of getting a 7 = $P(7) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$

$\implies P(not \hspace{1mm} getting \hspace{1mm} a \hspace{1mm} 7) = 1 - P(7)$

$\implies$ P(not getting a 7) $= 1 - \frac{1}{13} = \frac{12}{13}$

I understand the simple interest part, however I don’t understand the compounded interest part, need help quick.

Burka [1]

Compound interest is the starting amount x (1+ the interest rate as a decimal)^ the time in years=the final amount.

In your case, the equation will be $1000*(1+0.10)^how many years= the final amount.

(-7)-(-44)/22+((-4)*59) with calculation

Pavel [41]

Hi,

$\frac{ ( - 7) - ( - 44)}{22 + (( - 4) \times 59)}$

$\frac{ - 7 - ( - 44)}{22 + (( - 4) \times 59}$

$\frac{ - 7 + 44}{22 + (( - 4) \times 59}$

$\frac{ - 7 + 44}{22 + ( - 236)}$

$\frac{37}{22 + ( - 236)}$

$\frac{37}{22 - 236}$

$\frac{37}{ - 214}$

good look :)

The burges are moving across the country .Mr burges leaves 3 hours before mrs.burges. If he averages 50 mph and she averages 70

kirill [66]

10.5 hours

let t be time then distance travelled by both is

Mr Burges ⇔ d = 50t ( distance = speed × time )

Mrs Burges ⇒ d = 70(t - 3)

At the point of overtaking both will have travelled the same distance

equating their distance and solving for t

70(t - 3) = 50t

70t - 210 = 50t ( subtract 50t from both sides )

20t - 210 = 0 ( add 210 to both sides )

20t = 210 ( divide both sides by 20 )

t = 10.5 hours

Nanci needs at least $140 for her vacation this summer. She already has $25 and she is selling homemade bracelets for $3.00 each

Please look at the screenshot below, for some reason Brainly won't let me post my answer.

What I mean about "not fully written" is its impartial. It didn't ask us something like "find how many bracelets she needs to sell"
