11\frac{2}{5}\ inches\ burn\ in\ x\ hours\\\\
1\frac{1}{8}\ inches\ burn\ in\ 1\ hour\\\\cross\ multiplication\\\\
11\frac{2}{5}=1\frac{1}{8}x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 1\frac{1}{8}\\\\
\frac{\frac{57}{5}}{\frac{9}{8}}=x\\\\\frac{57}{5}*\frac{8}{9}=x\\\\
x=\frac{456}{45}=10\frac{2}{15}\\\\

What's the probability of pulling two red cards in a row from a deck of cards?​
monitta

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.

If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.

We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.

1/2×25/51=25/102

The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Every weekday, Mr. Jones bikes from his home to his job. Sometimes he rides along two roads, the long route that is shown by the
notka56 [123]

Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

Therefore:

Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km

Distance along the shortcut =17 km

Difference =23-17 =6km

Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.
