lianna [129]

Answer: P(5A) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four aces in total in a 52 card deck. Therefore the probability of getting 5 aces can be expressed as;

P(5A) = 4/52 × 3/51 × 2/50 × 1/49 × 0/48 = 0

Therefore, it is impossible to get 5 aces from a standard 52 cards deck

6 16x + 5y = -2<br> 4x - y=-2
Grace [21]

Answer:

x=2/9,y=26/9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation

16x+5y=-2..(1)

4x-y=-2...(2)

From (2) make y the subject of formula

y=4x+2..(3)

Substitute (3) into (1)

16x+5(4x+2)=-2

16x+20x+10=-2

36x-10=-2

Add 10 to both sides

36x=8

Divide both sides by 36

x=8/36

Divide both denominator and numerator by 4

x=2/9

Substitute the value x into (3)

y=4(2/9)+2

y=8/9+2

Let the LCM be 9

y=8+18/9

y=26/9

Therefore x=2/9,y=26/9

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, $22 is correct

If Helen Ming receives travel allowance of $220 from her company for time away from home

She has a 10% income tax rate

The amount she has to pay in taxes for the employee benefits is

10% of $220

10/100*$220

=0.1*$220

=$22

So you are correct

The only reason why you could be wrong is if the question is different from what you posted above just like the below question

Helen Ming receives a travel allowance of $220 each week from her company for time away from home. If this allowance is taxable and she has a 15 percent income tax rate, what amount will she have to pay in taxes for this employee benefit?

Here the amount she has to pay for the employee benefits is

15% of $220

15/100*$220

=0.15*$220

=$33

Which expression is equivalent to  4 7/8 ÷ 4 1/4​
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Improper fraction: 39/34

Proper fraction: 1 5/34

Decimal: 1.147 (rounded to the nearest thousandths).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve each expression given, if it has the same result, then the expressions is equivalent. Solve the given expression:

4 7/8 ÷ 4 1/4

First, change all fractions into improper fractions:

4 7/8 = (4 * 8)/8 + 7/8 = 32/8 + 7/8 = 39/8

4 1/4 = (4 * 4)/4  + 1/4 = 16/4 + 1/4 = 17/4

Next, find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do the numerator:

(17/4) * (2/2) = (34/8)

39/8 ÷ 17/4

Solve. First, change the division sign into multiplication, and then flip the second fraction:

39/8 ÷ 17/4 = 39/8 x 4/17

Multiply straight across:

39/8 x 4/17 = (39 x 4)/(8 x 17) = 156/136 = 39/34 (simplified), or 1 5/34.
