Ok, well a square is basically two triangles, right? the 45 degree right triangle. if you consider the rules for a 45 degree right triangle, you get: x, x, 2sqrt(x)

plugging in 8, you get the diagonal to be 2sqrt(8) or 4sqrt(2)

You are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a club

More card math! Easy!!

Exactly 1/4 of a 52-card deck of cards is clubs. Another 1/4 spades, another 1/4 is hearts, and the final 1/4 is diamonds. To find what one fourth of 52is, you can divide 52 by 4. That equals 13. So there are 13 clubs in the entire deck of cards. If you are trying not to get a club, you have to find the remainder of the cards without those 13. 52 - 13 = 39. This means that you have 39/52 odds of not getting a club. Simplified you get 3/4.

I did it the long way. A shorter was is to see that, obviously, one whole minus one fourth is three fourths.

A bird flies 2/3 of a mile per minute. How many miles per hour is it flying?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

A. 40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

A bird flies 2/3 miles per minute. You are trying to solve miles per hour.

Note that there are 60 minutes in an hour. Multiply 2/3 with 60:

2/3 x 60 = (2 * 60)/3 = (120)/3 = 40

A. 40 mph is your answer.
