Answer:

2 1/2 or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the length times the width. To solve for the length, you have this equation using the data you already have. 8 1/2 = 3 2/5 x length. 8 1/2 / 3 2/5 = length. 8.5/3.4 = length. length = 2.5 OR to do this fraction wise, you can make them fractions and divide, making 8/1 -> 16/2 + 1/2 = 17/2 and 3/1 - 15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5 and divide those, which ends up at 2 1/2 but fraction wise makes it more complicated

Answer:

13/102

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 13 black spades, 13 black clubs, 13 red diamonds and 13 red hearts. There are 26 black cards in the deck of 52 cards.

Probability of drawing a black card = 26/52 = 1/2

Suppose we drew the black card. There are now only 51 cards left in the deck. ALL of the hearts are still there - 13 of them.

Probability of drawing a heart from this deck of 51 = 13/51

In general, for the probability of event A and then event B, we multiply.

1/2 x 13/51 = 13/102

What is the approximate perimeter of a semicircle with a radius of 9mm?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Act like it's a whole circle and find the perimeter, then divide by 2.

P = 2 * pi * r

P = 2 * 3.14 * 9

P = 56.52

Now divide by 2:

P = 28.26
