Answer 1 with Explanation

The 21 consonant starting from the letter B to Z excludes the vowel that are A,E,I,O,U. The vowels are referred to as P(vowels) in the question. These are a basic communication channel for the learning purpose that is linked with the total or incomplete conclusion of the spoken language. In additional, vowels are much commonly used for the identification of language speech.

Answer 2

3/13

Step by step explanation

As given in the question, the letters A to M are written on a paper.

Each letter is written once

Now without looking the papers are select.

Total letters from A to M = 13

The inclusion of 3 vowels = A, E and I

Therefore, there are 3 possibilities of vowels appearing from the chosen letters. This gives us a fraction of 3/13.

The answer is 3/13.

YOu have to find the total number of posibilities, since you have letter A thru M you have 13 posible outcomes.

You only want vowels, this means you have 3 posible outcomes desired: A,E, I.

YOu calcute the P by dividing desired outcomes/posible outcomes.

Tha gives you 3/13
