In a game played with 50 letter tiles, 21 of the tiles are vowels. If a tile is drawn at random, what is the probability that it is a consonant.

29/50

50-21 = 29 consonants

29/50

To find the probability of drawing a consonant from the given set of 50 letter tiles, first, we need to determine the number of consonants in the set.

If there are 21 vowels, then the number of consonants can be found by subtracting the number of vowels from the total number of tiles. Thus:

Number of consonants = Total number of tiles - Number of vowels
Number of consonants = 50 - 21
Number of consonants = 29

Now that we know there are 29 consonants out of 50 tiles, we can calculate the probability of drawing a consonant by dividing the number of consonants by the total number of tiles:

Probability of drawing a consonant = Number of consonants / Total number of tiles
Probability of drawing a consonant = 29 / 50

Therefore, the probability of drawing a consonant from this set of letter tiles is 29/50 or 0.58 (when rounded to two decimal places).
