The quantity of vegetables Alex bought is; 32/15 pounds of vegetables

<h3>Multiplication of fractions</h3>

According to the question;

Amy bought 3 1/5 pounds of vegetables.

Hence; Amy bought; 16/5 pounds of vegetables.

Alex bought 2/3 as much as Amy

Hence, the quantity of vegetables Alex bought is;

Alex = 2/3 of 16/5

Alex = 2/3 × 16/5

Alex = 32/15 pounds of vegetables

Five cards are dealt from a standard 52-card deck. (a) What is the probability that we draw 1 ace, 1 two, 1 three, 1 four, and 1

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As there are total 52 cards in a deck and we have to draw a set of 5 cards, we can use the formula of combination to find the total number of possible ways of drawing 5 cards.

Number of ways to draw 5 cards = $N_T$

$N_T\;=\;({}^NC_k)\\\\N_T\;=\;({}^{52}C_5)\\\\N_T\;=\;2,598,960$

(a) Assuming the cards are drawn in order (would not affect the probability). The of getting Ace, 2, 3, 4 and 5 can be obtained by multiplying the probability of getting cards below 6 (20/52) with the probability of getting 5 different cards (4 choices for each card).

$P(a)\;=\;\frac{20}{52}*\frac{4}{52}*\frac{4}{51}*\frac{4}{50}*\frac{4}{49}*\frac{4}{48}\\\\P(a)\;=\; 1.3133*10^{-6}$

(b) For a straight we require our set to be in a sequence. The choices for lowest value card to produce a sequence are ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Hence, the number of ways are $({}^{10}C_1)$ .

For each card we can draw from any of the 4 sets. It can be described mathematically as: $({}^{4}C_1)*({}^{4}C_1)*({}^{4}C_1)*({}^{4}C_1)*({}^{4}C_1)\;=\;[({}^{4}C_1)^5]$

Therefore, the total outcomes for drawing straight are:

$N_S\;=\;({}^{4}C_1)*({}^{4}C_1)^5\;=\;10240$

Thus, the probability of getting a straight hand is:

$P(b)\;=\;\frac{N_S}{N_T}\\\\P(b)\;=\;\frac{10240}{2598960}\\\\P(b)\;=\; 0.0039$

Nick has $7.00. Bagels cost $0.75 each, and a small container of cream cheese costs $1.29. Write an inequality to find the numbe

jeyben [28]

Since the question only asks for bagels, put the cream-cheese idea aside.
The total spent has to be less than $7 so an equation can be this: $0.75x<$7 where x is the number of bagels
