Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of cards with hearts = 13

Number of cards with spade = 13

Probability of getting a card with heart :-

$P(H)=\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Probability of getting a card with spade :-

$P(S)=\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Since both the events are independent, then the probability that a heart or spade is chosen :-

$P(H\ or\ S)=P(H)+P(S)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5$

Hence, the probability that a heart or spade is chosen = 0.5

It would be 26 because half of 52 is 26 and because you are looking for the spades plus the hearts is u what that in half too and just want on or the other just divide 26 by 2

Answer:

April took out a loan of $600 and paid it back with simple interest of $60 after 5 years. The formula to calculate interest is given the principal and the time and the interest rate is . For this problem we have to find the interest rate given . To archive that , we can just solve the equation making the interest rate the subject of the formula as shown below,

I= Prt

=> r= I/Pt

=> r= 60/600x5 = 1/50

The interest rate is 1/50 or 0.02 as a decimal. The interest rate is 2% as a percentage.

I need help with like terms

professor190 [17]

I’m guessing you mean like this.
2x+4y+5x+8y.
2x and 5x are like terms because the x’s are alike. If you add 2+5, the answer is 7. So therefore 2x+5x=7x.

4y and 8y are like terms because the y’s are alike. So the answer to 4y+8y would be 12y.

If you need extra help, give me a problem and I will help you solve it.
