Answer:
P = 1 / 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
- A deck has 500 cards
- Numbered from 1-500
Find:-
you are asked to pick three cards, one at a time, what's the probability of each subsequent card being larger than the previous drawn card
Solution:-
- Suppose we draw three cards. We don't care what they actually are, irrespective of number.
- Let the three numbers be a, b, c: Such that:
a < b < c.
- The total possible combinations with 3 numbered cards will be:
a b c
b a c
a c b
b a c
b c a
c a b
- We have 6 possibilities for 3 numbered cards. So the probability of of each subsequent card being larger than the previous drawn card would be:
P = 1 / possible combinations
P = 1 / 6
Let x = blank
25 + 5x = 35
5x = 35 - 25
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
Done!
I might not be correct please let me know !! But as of right now I think the answer is
-(4x-9)
The answer to your question is 102
116 1/4 = 465/4 and 2 2/9 = 20/9
(465/4)÷(20/9) will be the answer and it is equal to 52 flags
