What k-1/3=5/6 equal ?

JulijaS [17]

The value of "K"

$k -\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}$

MMC (3,6)
3,6 | 3
1,2 | 2
1,1 |__ 3*2 = 6

Solving:
$k -\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}$
$\frac{6k}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$
cancel denominators (6)
$6k - 2 = 5$
$6k = 5+2$
$6k = 7$
$\boxed{k = \frac{7}{6} }$

What is the probability of getting either a nine or an ace when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards?

Flura [38]

probability of drawing ace: 4/52 = 1/13

probability of drawing 9: 4/52 = 1/13

probability of drawing ace or 9: 1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13 or ~15.4%

A flute is on sale for 20% off. Including the discount and 8% tax, the sales price is $216.

Len [333]

Answer:

Before Tax: $240

After Tax: $259.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are trying to find the original price then here:

216/1.08 = 200

This took away the tax now we need to take away the discount:

200 x 1.2 = 240

Before Tax: $240

After Tax: $259.20
