Answer:

ans:- 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let length = x

so, width= 2x -1

perimeter= 2(l +b)

82 = 2(x+ 2x-1)

41 = 3x - 1

3x = 42

x = 14

What is the probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a

inna [77]

Answer:

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Let 'S' be the sample space associated with the drawing of a card

n (S) = 52C₁ = 52

Let E₁ be the event of the card drawn being a king

$n( E_{1} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

Let E₂ be the event of the card drawn being a queen

$n( E_{2} ) = 4 _{C_{1} } = 4$

But E₁ and E₂ are mutually exclusive events

since E₁ U E₂ is the event of drawing a king or a queen

<u><em>step(ii):-</em></u>

The probability of drawing of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = P(E₁) +P(E₂)

$= \frac{4}{52} + \frac{4}{52}$

P( E₁ U E₂ ) = $\frac{8}{52}$

<u><em>step(iii):-</em></u>

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- P(E_{1} U E_{2} )$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = 1- \frac{8}{52}$

$P(E_{1}UE_{2}) ^{-} = \frac{52-8}{52} = \frac{44}{52} = 0.846$

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:-

The probability of drawing the compliment of a king or a queen from a standard deck of playing cards = 0.846

Sara takes 1/6 of an hour to vacuum his moms car it takes 4 times that long to wash the car then it takes you to wax the car twi

Nataly [62]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>2 hours & 10 minutes </h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h2>1/6 of an hour is 10 minutes. She vacuumed for 10 minutes. It took 4 times as long to wash the car so 10 * 4 = 40. She washed the car for 40 minutes. It took her twice as long to wax the car as it did for her to wash it so 40 * 2 = 80. She waxed the car for 80 minutes. 10 + 40 + 80 = 130 minutes or 2 hours and 10 minutes. </h2>

ra1l [238]

Answer:

See the second attachment for long division by hand. The first attachment shows the "work" I would usually do.

Step-by-step explanation:

In college math, you are generally expected to be able to make use of a scientific and/or graphing calculator. Division is one of the simpler operations these devices can perform.

If you are doing long division by hand, use the method you were taught in 3rd or 4th grade. The one shown is one of several different methods being taught now.

Minerva starts a savings account with $50. The interest on the account balance is compounded annually. The graph below shows the

rodikova [14]

We can set up this equation using this formula:

a = p(1 + r/n)^nt

p = starting amount.

r = interest.

n = number of times it's compounded in a year

t = years

We'd set it up like this:

a = 50(1 + ?/1)^1(12)

Because we're missing the amount of interest, it would be impossible to tell what the amount would be after 12 years.
