When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.
To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.
To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.
To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.
You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.
For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)
8y-3=6y+17
2y=20
y=10
The answer for y is 10.
Yeah dang i have no idea. great question tho
Answer:
1 / 663
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find the total number of ways you can pick 2 cards from the deck. This is 52 * 51 = 2652 because there are 52 cards available for your first pick, and after you pick one, you'll have 51 left for your second pick.
There are 4 5's (one for every suite) and only 1 Queen of Hearts in a deck of cards. Therefore, the total number of successful outcomes will be 4 * 1 = 4.
The probability of picking a 5 and then a Queen of Hearts is 4 / 2652 =
1 / 663. Hope this helps!
