Solving Age Word Problems

If the problem involves a single person, then it is similar to an Integer Problem. Read the problem carefully to determine the relationship between the numbers. This is shown in the following example involving a single person.

If the age problem involves the ages of two or more people then using a table would be a good idea. A table will help you to organize the information and to write the equations. This is shown in the age problems: examples involving more than one person.

A card is drawn from a 52 card deck any fair coin is flipped what is the probability of getting Jack and hits
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 Jacks in every deck of cards, one for each suit. Therefore your chances of drawing a Jack, or any other card for that matter, are 4 in 52. So, the first probability for cards is 4/52.

Now, for the coin, the probability is 1/2.

So, the probability of getting Jack and hits is 4/52 X 1/2 = 1/26.
