Answer:

y = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y varies inversely as x.

\therefore \: y  =  \frac{k}{x}  \\ (k = constant \: of \: proportionality) \\  \therefore \: xy = k...(1) \\ plug \: y =  \frac{2}{5}  \: and \: x = 2 \: in \: (1) \\  2\times \frac{2}{5}   = k \\  \implies \: k =  \frac{4}{5}  \\ substituting \: k=  \frac{4}{5}  \: in \: (1) \\ xy =  \frac{4}{5} ..(2) \\ this \: i s \: the \: equation \: of \: variation \\ plug \: x = 1 \: in \: (2) \\ 1 \times y =  \frac{4}{5}  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{y =   \frac{4}{5}  }}

That’s how you rename the number. Another example:

805 hundreds =  805*100
805 hundreds = 80,500</span> Simply multiply the given number to the name equivalent like tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, etc.

The probability that a traffic light will be green is 40%. If you pass through 3 lights on your way to the store, what is the pr
larisa [96]

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of green, P(green) is 40%, the probability of red, P(red) is 60%.

The probability of a light being red is not affected by the colour of the previous light, so at each of the 3 lights, the probability of red is always 60%.

To find the probability that all three lights will be red, multiply the three probabilities together. (Convert them to decimals first).

0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.216
