Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cars to trucks to motorcycles is $4:3:2.

If there are $42$ cars and trucks total,

To get how many motorcycles are there

Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks 4:3= 4+3 = 7

Sum up the ratio of cars and trucks and motorcycles

4+3+2 =9

Let the total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles be represented as A

The total number of cars and trucks in the question is 42

(7/9) x A = 42

7A/9 = 42

cross multiply

7A = 42×9 = 378

A= 378/7 = 54

The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles is 54

To get the number of motorcycles can be calculated through

a. The total number of cars and trucks and motorcycles subtracted by the number of cars and trucks = 54-42=12 or use the ratio which is

2/9 × 54 = 2×6=12

You read online that the probability of being dealt four‑of‑a‑kind in a five‑card poker hand is 1 / 4165. Explain carefully what
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

There is about 4,164/4,165 chances of not getting getting a four of a kind. So, it is extremely unlikely or even borderline impossible in that situation to get a four of a kind.

<u>But in the long run, it can be increased only if you keep drawing.  So, the awnser would have to be. D  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

A. It does mean that if you are dealt 4165 five‑card poker hands, one will be four‑of‑a‑kind.

B.  It does not mean that all will be four‑of‑a‑kind. The probability is actually saying that only on the 4165 the poker hand will you get a four‑of‑a‑kind, not just on any of the 4165 poker hands.

C. The probability is actually saying that in the long run, with a large number of five‑card poker hands, the fraction in which you will be dealt a four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165.

D. The chance you will be dealt four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165 only on the first hand. This chance will then increase with each new hand you are dealt until you eventually win

to make an apple pie, mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples. how many cups of ingredients does mimi need to make 5 pie
Lady_Fox [76]
For one apple pie, Mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples, which is 5 cups in all, in order to produce how many cups she would need to make five pies you simply times the number given, number of cups, by 5. So you times 2 by 5, which is 10 and 3 by 5, which is 15 and together that makes 25 cups, 10 cups of flour and 15 cups of apples. If you had three cups of flour and needed to make 20 pies, all you would do is times three by 20, which is 60. 

Hope I explained this correctly, if you need any more help, please ask.
