Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there 54 cards (52 cards plus 2 Jokers). There are 4 suits (kinds of shapes) in a deck namely: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades. Each of the suits numbers from number 2 to number 10 (numbering 36 cards). Afterwards, we have 4 suits each for the Jack, Queen, King & Ace cards (numbering 16 cards). And then 2 Jokers

An Ace turned up at the 20th card, this means there 34 cards left. The number of cards left is given by the difference between 54 & 20. Mathematically shown below:

Cards left = 54 - 20 = 34

Total number of cards = 54, number of Aces of Spades ♠ in the deck = 1, number of two clubs ♣ in the deck = 1

A. Probability of the next card being Ace of Spades ♠ = the number of Ace of Spades card in the deck ÷ Total number of cards left in the deck

Pr (Ace of Spades) = 1 ÷ 34

Pr (Ace of Spades) = 0.0294 or 2.94%

B. Probability of the next card being Two of Clubs ♣ = the number of Two of Clubs card in the deck ÷ Total number of cards left in the deck

Pr (Two of Clubs) = 1 ÷ 34

Pr (Two of Clubs) = 0.0294 or 2.94%

It therefore implies that the chancess of the next card being Ace of Spades (A ♠) or Two of Clubs (2 ♣) is the same; the Ace of Spades is just equally as likely to be picked as the next card from the deck as Two of Clubs

it would be decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is a linear increasing function

for 1 it is going up from 1-6

Can someone help me with this
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

  4 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

A lot of math is about pattern matching. Here, you're asked if sides are the same length (one side matches another), if there are right angles (square corners), and if the number of angles or sides is 4.

You might make the observations ...

  <u>pink</u>: 2 pairs of parallel sides that are the same length (4 sides). Adjacent sides are different length.

  <u>orange</u>: all 4 sides are congruent and at right angles

  <u>blue</u>: 2 pairs of parallel sides that are the same length (4 sides). Adjacent sides are different length.

  <u>green</u>: 2 pairs of parallel sides that are the same length--4 sides and 4 right angles. Adjacent sides are different length.

__

The only feature in common is "4 sides."

With the remaining 3/4 gallon of honey, Lila decided to bake some loaves of bread and several batches of cookies for her school

Find the least common denominator for all fractions: 12

3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
1/6 = (1*2)/(6*2)
1/4 = (1*3)/(4*3)

Take the converted fractions to have the honey used taken away from the original total.
