Answer:

13 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

1: If he has 6 3/4 lbs to start with, this is 6.75 lbs, as 3/4 = 0.75.

2: He wants the new bags to be 1/2 lb, which is 0.5 lbs.

3: If we divide 6.75 by 0.5, we get the exact number of bags he could have - 13.5.

4: However, the bags must be full, so we have to disregard that extra 0.5 bags, and say he can completely fill 13 bags.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Consider an experiment with a deck of 52 playing cards, in which there are 13 cards in each suit, two suits are black, and two s
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<u>P (E1) = 1/2 or 50%</u>

<u>P (E2) = 3/13 or 23%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of playing cards = 52

Number of suits = 4

Number of cards per suit = 13

Number of black suits = 2

Number of red suits = 2

2.  Suppose E1 = the outcome is a red card and E2 = the outcome is a face card (K, Q, J). Determine P(E1 or E2).

P (E1) = Number of red cards/Total of playing cards

P (E1) = 26/52 = 1/2 = 50%

P (E2) = Number of face cards/Total of playing cards

P (E2) = 12/52 = 3/13 = 23%
