The answer is B) 2/13.

An easy way to figure this out is to find what the unsimplified probability would be:

Since there are 8 kings and queens in total, the number is:

8/52

But, since these are both even numbers, they can be simplified.

1/4 x 8 = 2

1/4 x 52 = 13

2/13

Since 13 is a prime number, the answer cannot be simplified anymore.

Lelu [443]

Answer: Light bulbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paint Brushes: 29.82 ÷ 14 = $2.13 per brush.

Drywall Screws : 31.84 ÷ 16 = $1.99 per anchor screw.

Light Bulbs: 27.15 ÷ 12 = $2.26 per light bulb.

Sandpaper: 36.54 ÷ 18 = $2.06 per piece of sandpaper.

Are 4/16 and 0.25/2 equivalent numbers? If so, explain how they are.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.

41x0x3 what property is this

Drupady [299]

The Multiplication Property of Zero.

It states "the product of any number and zero is zero". Even if there are more than one multiplier - it is still 0.

So 5 x 0 = 0

100 x 0 = 0

41 x 0 x 3 = 0

etc.
