Answer:

Length of the string May is left with = 3\frac{1}{2} inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the string May is having initially = 12\frac{1}{4} inches or \frac{49}{4} inches

If she gets off a piece that measures = 8\frac{3}{4} inches or \frac{35}{4} inches

So length of the string she is left with = Total length of the string - length of the piece taken off

= \frac{49}{4}-\frac{35}{4}

= \frac{49-35}{4}

= \frac{14}{4} inches

≈ \frac{7}{2} inches                                  

≈ 3\frac{1}{2} inches

Therefore, the length of remaining string will measure 3\frac{1}{2} inches.

a standard deck of cards missing the queen of hearts in the 2 of clubs what is the probability of pulling either an ace or a spa
Butoxors [25]
<h3>Answer:  8/25</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.

If this deck is missing the queen of hearts and 2 of clubs, then we really have 52-2 = 50 cards in the deck.

There are 4 aces and 13 spades. Those values add to 4+13 = 17, but we need to subtract off 1 to account for the ace of spades counted twice. We have 17-1 = 16 cards that are either an ace, a spade, or both.

Or you can think of it like saying 13 spades + 1 ace of hearts + 1 ace of diamonds + 1 ace of clubs = 16 cards total.

-----------------

The event space has A = 16 cards in it, while the sample space has B = 50 cards.

The probability we're after is A/B = 16/50 = 8/25
