Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of 2/3 is just the "flipped" fraction. Hence, it is

3/2

Now, in 23/12,

23 is the numerator

12 is the denominator

Let the number to add/subtract be "x", so we can say:

23 + x [for numerator]

12 - x [for denominator]

This should be equal to 3/2

THus we have:

\frac{23+x}{12-x}=\frac{3}{2}

Now we cross multiply and solve for x:

\frac{23+x}{12-x}=\frac{3}{2}\\2(23+x)=3(12-x)\\46+2x=36-3x\\5x=-10\\x=\frac{-10}{5}\\x=-2

So the number is -2

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour and a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The jellyfish travels faster than the walrus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour

Distance= 3/5 mile

time= 1/6 hour

speed= distance/time

speed= 3/5/1/6

speed= 3/5*6/1

speed= 18 mile per hour

a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.

Distance= 5/6 mile

time= 3/10 hour.

speed= distance/time

speed= 5/6/3/10

speed= 5/6*10/3

speed= 50/18 mile per hour

We draw 2 cards from a deck of 52 cards. what is the probability that both are queens?
solniwko [45]
Use combination
There are 4 queen cards in a deck of 52 cards
Probability = 4C2 / 52C2

I calculate 4C2 first
4C2 = 4! / (2! 2!)
4C2 = (4 × 3 × 2 × 1) / (2 × 1 × 2 × 1)
4C2 = 6

Then I calculate 52C2
52C2 = 52! / (50! 2!)
52C2 = (52 × 51)/2
52C2 = 1.326

Hence, the probability is
Probability = 4C2 / 52C2
Probability = 6/1,326
Probability = 1/221
