Answer:

about 37% chance or, rounding to the nearest tenth, 36.5% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are only 6 black face cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 6/52

there are also 13 spade cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 13/52

to find the percent you have to add the two fractions becuase all you want to do is draw a black face card or a spade card. when you add them you get 19/52

then dividing the fraction gives you .3653846154 on my calculator :)

An amusement park sold 27 child tickets. The other 23 tickets it sold were adult tickets. What is the ratio of the number of adu

amm1812

Answer:

23/50

Step-by-step explanation:

27 + 23 = 50 (Implying that 50 is the total amount of tickets).

23 of them were sold to adults, so basically 23/50.

Remember a ratio can be written in 3 forms, so it can be either of these:

23:50

23/50

23 to 50

Two pounds of grapes cost $6. How much does it cost for 5 pounds of grapes

Andreyy89

Answer:

if we take the total cost of the grapes, and divide by the number of pounds of grapes we can conclude that each pound of grapes costs $3. so 5 pounds of grapes multiplied by $3 per pound, gives us $15 for 5 pounds of grapes.

6x-2y=24 how do u solve for y

Tatiana [17]

It's Diophantine equation.
First, we need to found gcd(6,(-2)):
6=2*3
(-2)=(-1)*2

So, gcd(6,-2)=2
Now, the question is. Can we dived c=24, by gcd(6,-2) and in the end get integer?
Yes we can.
$\frac{24}{2} =12$
So, we can solve it.

Now is the formula:
${\begin{cases}x=x_{0}+n{\frac {b}{\gcd(a,\;b)}}\\y=y_{0}-n{\frac {a}{\gcd(a,\;b)}}\end{cases}}\quad n\in \mathbb {Z} .$

Second, we need the first pair (x0,y0)
if
x=0
then
$y=(-12)$

Third, we gonna use that formula:
${\begin{cases}x=-n}\\y=-3(4+n)}\end{case}\quad n\in \mathbb {Z} .$
Congratulations! We solve it.

The equation y = \large 1\frac{1}{2}x represents the number of cups of dried fruit, y, needed to make x pounds of granola. Deter

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ - False

$(4,6)$ - True

$(18,12)$ -- False

$(0,0)$ -- True

$(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ -- True

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are

$(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ , $(4,6)$ , $(18,12)$ , $(0,0)$ and $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ ---- missing from the question

Given

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

Required

Determine if each of the points would be on $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$

To do this, we simply substitute the value of x and of each point in $y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ .

(a) $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$

In this case;

$x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ and $y = 1$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{3}{2}$

$y = \frac{9}{4}$

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

The point $(1\frac{1}{2},1)$ won't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 1\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 2\frac{1}{4}$

(b) $(4,6)$

In this case;

$x = 4$

$y = 6$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

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

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 4$

$y = \frac{3* 4}{2}$

$y = \frac{12}{2}$

$y = 6$

The point $(4,6)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 4$ is $y = 6$

(c) $(18,12)$

In this case:

$x = 18;y = 12$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * 18$

$y = \frac{3* 18}{2}$

$y = \frac{54}{2}$

$y = 27$

The point $(18,12)$ wouldn't be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 18$ is $y = 12$

(d) $(0,0)$

In this case;

$x =0; y = 0$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 0$

$y = 0$

The point $(0,0)$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 0$ is $y = 0$

(e) $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$

In this case:

$x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ ; $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

$y = 1\frac{1}{2}x$ becomes

$y = 1\frac{1}{2} * 2\frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{3}{2} * \frac{5}{2}$

$y = \frac{15}{4}$

$y = 3\frac{3}{4}$

The point $(2\frac{1}{2},3\frac{3}{4})$ would be on the graph because the corresponding value of y for $x = 2\frac{1}{2}$ is $y = 3\frac{3}{4}$
