Answer: 4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of spades = 13

Number of aces = 4

Number of ace of spade = 1

Probability of either a spade or an ace :

P(spade or ace) = P(spade U ace)

P(spade U ace) = p(spade) + p(ace) - p(spade n ace)

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(spade) = 13 / 52

P(ace) = 4 / 52

P(spade n ace) = 1 / 52

P(spade U ace) = p(spade) + p(ace) - p(spade n ace)

= 13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52

= 16 / 52 = 4 /13

4-inch by 6-inch what is the width of 15 inches for a ratio table
quester [9]

This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):

4 /6 = 15 / x

Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.

Let's cross-multiply:

4x = (15)(6)

x = 90/4

x = 22.5 in.

Tanzania [10]

5.75a + 6.5c = 53.25

a + c = 9

c = 9 - a

5.75a + 58.5 - 6.5a = 53.25

5.25 = 0.75a

a = 7

7 + c = 9

c = 2
