To find the probability of choosing a red card we need to add both the cards so we have a total amount of cards.

17 + 9 = 26

Since, the question is asking the probability of choosing a RED card then the probability is a 17/26 chance. The answer choices are written as ratios. The ratio that is the same to 17/26 is [ D. 17:26 ]

Best of Luck!

Helen [10]

Answer:

4 1/6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each of the 18 students gets an equal length of ribbon, we need to divide the 75 ft of ribbon into 18 equal parts.

75/18= 4 1/6

Each student gets 4 1/6 ft of ribbon

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the function at x = - 2

Locate x = - 2 on the x- axis then go up vertically until the line is met.

The read the corresponding value of y from the y- axis

x = - 2 ⇒ y = 2 → C

A gardening company plants 10 trees in 2 hours. How long will it take to plant 150 trees? a.20 h b.30 h c.50 h d.75 h

Ganezh [65]

10/2= 5 trees per hour.

150/5= 30

It would take 30 hours to plant 150 trees.

I hope this helps!

A hat contains slips of paper with the names of the 26 other students in Eduardo's class on them, 10 of whom are boys. To determ

Andrej [43]

Answer:

$\frac{24}{65}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the class = 26

Number of boys in the class = 10

Number of girls in the class = 26 - 10 = 16

The formula for probability is :

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}}$

In this case the favorable outcomes would be the number of girls in the class and total outcomes would be the total number of students in the class.

Eduardo has to pull out two names from the hat. Since there are 16 girls in the class of 26, the probability that the first name will be of the girl will be = $\frac{16}{26}$

After picking up the 1st name, there would be 25 names in the hat with 15 names of girls as one of the girl is already been chosen. So,

The probability that the second name would belong to a girl = $\frac{15}{25}$

The probability that both the partners will be girls will be equal to the product of two individual probabilities as both the events are independent.

Therefore,

The probability that both of Eduardo's partners for the group project will be girls = $\frac{16}{26} \times \frac{15}{25} = \frac{24}{65}$
