Depends on what you mean by 'odds'.

The probability of picking a heart from a standard deck is 13/52 = 1/4 .

I think 13:39 or "one to three in favor" is correct,
but I'm not that solid working with 'odds'.

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : The odds that you will pick a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards is 13:39.

The odds for an event is the ratio of favorable outcomes to the unfavorable outcomes.

In a standard deck of cards:

Total number of cards = 52

Total number of heart cards = 13

Total number of card which are not heart = 52 - 13 = 39

The odds of picking a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards is

Odds=\frac{\text{Number of heart cards}}{\text{Number of cards which are not heart}}

Odds=\frac{13}{39}

The odds that you will pick a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards is 13:39.

We can further simplify the above ratio.

Odds=\frac{1}{3}

The odds that you will pick a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards is 13:39 or 1:3.

Therefore the given statement is true.

a fox a coyote and a wolf weigh a total of 120 pounds the ratio of the weight of fox to the weight of coyote is 3:8 the weight o
ira [324]
There is not enough information to calculate this. 

<span>Knowing the weight ratio of the fox to coyote as 3:8 in no way allows you to know the respective ratio of the wolf. To know the weight of the wolf would require knowing its ratio value, then the weights of all 3 is an easy calculation. </span>
<span>Example - 3:8:15 (f:c:w) is a plausible ratio based upon real-world weight averages for certain species/subspecies of the three. </span>
<span>- knowing the values of the 3 terms as 3:8:15 gives a total of 3+8+15 = 26 ratio values </span>
<span>- you then simply divide the total weight by this ratio value total; 120/26 = 4.62 </span>
<span>- so each ratio value is 4.62 units of weight*** </span>
<span>- now, simply calculate the weight of each canid by multiplying its ratio value by the unit of weight... </span>
<span>fox; 3 x 4.62 = 13.86 </span>
<span>coyote; 8 x 4.62 = 36.96 </span>
<span>wolf; 15 x 4.62 = 69.3 </span>
<span>Validate the ratios by adding the weights together (we should get 120) 13.86 + 36.96 + 69.3 = 120.12 </span>
<span>The total is slightly out because that 4.62 figure was a rounding up. </span>

<span>Now, the thing is, there is nothing given that allows us to know exactly what ratio value the wolf should be, I chose 15 myself because that is a real-world plausible value when compared to 3:8 for the other 2. Changing it to 16, say, means that there are now 27 ratio values total giving a ratio value of 120/27 = 4.44 obviously changing the weights of all 3.</span>

What is the answer to a and b please and thank you
vagabundo [1.1K]
A.) according to the graph, Austin appears to be burning 10 calories per minute. If you look at a perfect point on the graph, which I chose (50,5) and you do x over y or calories per minute, you get a unit rate of 10 calories per minute.

b.) Since you have already found the unit rate in question a, your slope would be 10.
