Answer:

the probability is  1/14 (7.14%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each card of the total of 56 equally likely to be chosen, then the probability is the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes of the experiment. Thus the probability of getting a single Jack when there are 4 in 56 cards is

probability = number of favourable outcomes/ total number of outcomes = 4 Jacks / 56 different cards = 1/14 =0.0714 (7.14%)

thus the probability is  1/14 (7.14%)

Zielflug [23.3K]

x/240 = 82/100

240 : 100 = 2.4

so 240 is divided with 2,4 giving 100, this will work with 82 too. So, 82 × 2.4 = 196,8

Answer : x = 196,8

prove :

196,8/240 = 82/100 = 41/50

Andy and Christopher are measuring a liquid solution using graduated cylinders, Andy uses 3.5 liters of the liquid solution, and
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Ratio = 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent

- Andy with A

- Christopher with C

A = 3.5L

C = 2580mL

Required

Determine the ratio of C to A

Ratio is represented as thus:

Ratio = C:A

Rewrite as fraction

Ratio = \frac{C}{A}

This gives

Ratio = \frac{2580mL}{3.5L}

Convert L to mL

Ratio = \frac{2580mL}{3.5*1000mL}

Ratio = \frac{2580mL}{3500mL}

Ratio = \frac{2580}{3500}

Ratio = 0.73714285714

Ratio = 0.74 --- Approximated
