Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

If point B divides the segment AC in the ratio 2:1, then

AB=2x units and BC=x units.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:2, then

AD=3y units and DB=2y units.

Since AD+DB=AB, then

3y+2y=2x\\ \\5y=2x\\ \\y=\dfrac{2}{5}x

Now,

AD=3y\\ \\DC=DB+BC=2y+x=2y+\dfrac{2}{5}y=\dfrac{12}{5}y

So,

AD:DC=3y:\dfrac{12}{5}y=15:12=5:4

Answer:

AD:DC=6:9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

AB:BC=2:1

AD:DB=3:2

We can conclude that:

AB+BC=AC

Then:

AB=2/3AC

BC=1/3AC

AD+DB=AB

Then

AD=3/5AB

DB=2/5AB

From the above we can replace:

AD=(3/5)(2/3AC)=6/15AC

On the other hand:

DC= DB+BC

DC=2/5AB+1/3AC

In terms of AC

DC=((2/5)(2/3AC))+1/3AC=4/15AC+1/3AC

DC=27/45AC=9/15AC

From:

AD=6/15AC

DC=9/15AC

we can say that:

AD:DC=6:9

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The probability of drawing three red marbles is 1/27, or about 3.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the marbles:

5 + 4 + 6 = 15

Find favourable outcomes:

5

The probability for drawing a red marble is:

5/15 or 1/3

Multiply this ×3 to find the probability of drawing three red marbles.

1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/27

1 ÷ 27 = 0.0370370370 ... repeating
