    This is too many to answer.

    the simple probability(P) = quanitity of a specific event / total 3 of events possible.

    1)P= 5vvowels/12 letters =5/12

    11) x= # bikes

    y= # trikes

    x + y = 19 so x= 19 - y

    2x + 3y = 47 Now replacing x we get : 2(19 -y) + 3y = 47⇢⇢ 38 - 2y + 3y = 47⇢⇢ y + 38 = 47

    SO y= 9 trikes then there must be 10 bikes

    13) 21 = 7 + 1.5d

    14 = 1.5d

    d=14/1.5

    Lots of them ask how many ways. To find how many ways n! = n *(n - 1)* (n - 2)* (n - 3)...*1

    22)You and six friends make 7 people

    7!= 7*6*5*4*3*2*1= 5040

    If your son really needs help on this, then you as a parent should be able to help him. This is 5th grade math, can't get any simpler.
