Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first

36/72 = 1/2

To find the next term, take the last term and multiply by the common ratio

18*1/2 = 9

how many even numbers less than 1000 can be formed from the given digits 0,2,3,5; if repetition is not allowed ?

Lunna [17]

Answer: 2 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for even numbers, 0 and 2 must be the last number.

So if we have 0 at the end, there are 6 possibilities:

2350, 2530, 3250, 3520, 5230, 5320. None of these are less than 1000.

But, if we have 2 at the end, then we have 6 possibilities again:

0352, 0532, 3052, 3502, 5032, 5302. Only two of these are less than 1000.

So the only possibilities are 0350 and 0530, and so there are 2 possibilities.

Lucy earns money babysitting. Her earnings and hours worked represent a direct variation. She worked for 4 hours and earned $25.

SashulF [63]

For this case we have that by definition, a direct variation is given in the form:

$y = kx$

Where:

k: It is the constant of proportionality

According to the statement we have to:

$y = 25\\x = 4$

Substituting:

$25 = k4\\k = \frac {25} {4}$ $k = 6.25\ for\ \frac {dollars} {hour}$

On the other hand we have:

$y = 4\\x = 25\\4 = k25\\k = \frac {4} {25}$

$k = 0.16\ for\ \frac {hours} {dollar}$

Answer:

$k = 6.25 for \frac {dollars} {hour}\\k = 0.16 for \frac {hours} {dollar}$
