5/16 is your answer! good luck
24, just do 6x4 because there are 4 sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 2 red aces, 2 red Queens, and 13 spades. That leaves 35 cards for everything else.
For the game to be fair, the cost must equal the expected value. The expected value is the sum of each outcome times its probability.
C = (12) (13/52) + (20) (2/52) + (38) (2/52) + (0) (35/52)
C = 68/13
C ≈ 5.2308
Answer:
Paula = 4 hours
Roberto = 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken by Paula = x
Time taken by Roberto = x +. 8
Paula's rate = 1/x
Roberto's rate = 1/(x + 8)
Combined rate = 1/3
Time it takes each if them working alone ;
Paula's rate + Roberto's rate = combined rate
1 /x + 1 / (x +8) = 1/3
Take the L. C. M
((x+8) + x) / x(x+8) = 1/3
(2x + 8) / x(x + 8) = 1/3
3(2x + 8) = x(x + 8)
6x + 24 = x² + 8x
x² + 8x - 6x - 24 = 0
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation :
x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = 0
(x - 4) = 0 or (x + 6) = 0
x = 4 or x = - 6
Time taken cannot be negative
Hence, x = 4
Hence, working alone, it takes ;
Time taken by Paula = 4
Time taken by Roberto = 4 + 8 = 12
