Total number of cards in one deck = 52
Total number of spades in a deck = 13

P( 2spades) = 13/52 x 13/52 = 1/16

Nitella [24]

Answer:

x + 2y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line goes through (-4, 0) and (4, -4).

The slope is (-4 - 0) / (4 - -4) = -4 / (4 + 4) = -4 / 8 = -1/2.

Since we are looking for the equation of the line parallel to that line, the slope will be the same.

We have an equation of y = -1/2x + b. We have a point at (2, 3). We can then say that y = 3 when x = 2.

3 = (-1/2) * 2 + b

b - 1 = 3

b = 4.

So, we have y = -1/2x + 4.

1/2x + y = 4

x + 2y = 8.

Hope this helps!

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the quantity of butter

and

m be the quantity of milk

<u>So according to given statement the whole mixture measures 70.4 mL while butter measures 30.6mL</u>

so,

B+m = 70.4

30.6 + m = 70.4

m = 70.4 - 30.6

m = 39.8 mL

Cooper needs 39.8 mL milk for his recipe ..

PLS HELP ASAP I WILL IVE BRAINLIST ANSWER!!!!!Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using thi

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Leon is correct. (Option 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using this procedure.

Step 1: Find the greatest common factor of the given lengths: 7

Step 2: Divide the given lengths by the greatest common factor: 3, 4, 5

Step 3: Verify that the lengths found in step 2 form a Pythagorean triple.

we have to explain whether or not Leon is correct.

As, 3,4,5 forms a Pythagorean triplet i.e satisfies the Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

⇒ $5^2=3^2+4^2$

Let a, b, c forms a Pythagorean triplet

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Multiplied by 4 on both sides

⇒ $4a^2+4b^2=4c^2$

⇒ ${2a}^2+{2b}^2={2c}^2$

Hence, we say 4a, 4b and 4c also forms a Pythagorean triplet.

∴ multiplying every length of a Pythagorean triple by the same whole number results in a Pythagorean triple.

Hence, Leon is correct.
