A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards

Probability of (drawing a card) = $\frac{number \ of \ cards \ that \ occur}{total \ number \ of \ cards}$

Total number of cards = 52

Number of spade = 13

Number of heart = 13

Probability ( drawing a spade) = $\frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}$

Probability ( drawing a heart) = $\frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}$

probability of drawing a spade or a heart = $\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

a half ratio so 26:52 or 2:4 or 1:2 depending on if it asked you to simplify or not.

Because it asked both heart and spade, there are 13 per shape in a deck. so 13+13 = 26 and 26 is equal to one half of a deck.

Does anyone know the answer???

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

41 - 8m - 57 = 0

41- 8m = 57

-8m = 57-41

-8m = 16

m = -16/8

m = -2

Match the fraction with its equivalent decimal form of the number.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The overbar on decimal digits means they repeat forever.

Any fraction with a denominator consisting of powers of 2 and/or 5 will terminate. These can be converted to decimal by multiplying the fraction by a number to make the denominator an appropriate power of ten.

1 2/3 = 1.66666666666... repeating

1 3/5 = 1 (3·2)/(5·2) = 1 6/10 = 1.6

1 1/4 = 1 (1·25)/(4·25) = 1 25/100 = 1.25

1 33/50 = 1 (33·2)/(50·2) = 1 66/100 = 1.66

Of course, your calculator can tell you the decimal equivalents, too.

1. What are the major forces that drive movements in the atmosphere?

Kruka [31]

1. Wind speed and direction respond to pressure gradient forces that exist between high and low pressure areas. In the Northern Hemisphere and because of the rotation of the earth, winds circulate in a clockwise fashion around areas of high pressure and in a counter-clockwise manner around regions of lower pressure. Air pressure decreases relatively slowly with height in regions dominated by warm air and relatively rapidly with height in areas where cold air prevails. As a result, wind patterns in the upper atmosphere tend to flow in an oscillating manner around major pockets of warm and cold air.
Horizontal pressure gradient force- results from the high and low pressure systems (highs, lows, troughs and ridges) in the atmosphere. Air tends to move air from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure.
Friction- the drag on the air by the earth's surface (e.g., plants, trees, buildings, mountains, etc.).

Friction always acts opposite to air motion

Coriolis ForceCoriolis force- the force that results from Earth's rotation.The Coriolis force solely results from living on a rotating object -- Earth. It acts only on objects moving with respect to the earth's surfaceCentrifugal force- the tendency for a body to resist a change in direction.

2. The amount of sunlight striking an air mass influences its temperature. As the air heats up, it rises in the air column and begins sucking cool air in behind it. This causes the winds that drive much of the planet’s weather systems.

The weather is also affected by the local geography. For example, mountains often block winds and rainfall. This causes one side of the mountain to have very high amounts of rainfall and lush vegetation, while the far side of the mountains remain very dry and desolate.

The air pressure in an area can impede or encourage the flow of weather systems. In general, air masses flow from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure. Usually, storms occur in areas of extremely low pressure.

The amount of water in the atmosphere affects the local humidity and rainfall. Air masses that move across bodies of water often draw water up into the air before depositing it somewhere else as rain, snow or sleet

Construct parallelogram PQRS with |PQ|=10cm, |ps|=8cm and <QPS = 120

IgorC [24]

Find sketch of parallelogram attached

Answer and explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which is wider than it is long. A parallelogram has two sides parallel to the other. From the above, we are told the parallelogram PQRS has an angle QPS 120, with sides 10cm and 8cm, we use this to sketch the parallelogram

We find that angle QPS is 120 degrees hence angle RSP is 60 degrees since angle on straight line is 60 degrees from 180-120 in angle QPS and alternate angles are equal. Also opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
