Frances removes all the diamonds from an ordinary pack of 52 playing cards. She shuffles the deck and looks at the top card. What is the probability that it is the 5 of hearts?

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of card is divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each.

If all the diamonds are removed, then:

Total Number of Cards =52-13=39

If she then shuffles the deck and looks at the top card.

The probability that it is the 5 of hearts,

P( 5 of hearts)

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
