The set S represents the elements present in sugar. S = {carbon, hydrogen, oxygen} The set C represents the elements present in carbon dioxide gas. C = {carbon, oxygen} How many elements are in the set S ∩ C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The intersection has a cardinality of 2, i.e. it contains two elements -- carbon and oxygen, those which are in common.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so its 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah 2 since they both have carbon and oxygen and intersection means those they both have :)
