Answer:

4/25 = 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest stick must be between 0 and 5/3.  The probability that it is longer than 1 is therefore:

(5/3 − 1) / (5/3 − 0)

(2/3) / (5/3)

2/5

So the probability that both of the shortest sticks are longer than 1 is (2/5)² = 4/25.

suter [353]

Answer:

The constant of variation is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

y=81

x=27

And y is directly related to x

y ∝ x

Here k is constant of variation

y=kx

k=\frac{y}{x}--------------(1)

Put the y and x value in equation 1.

k=\frac{81}{27}

k=3

So, the constant of variation is 3.

a company borrowed 25,000 and was charges 3.5% and was charged 2,625 in interet...how long was it before the company repaid the
Sladkaya [172]
We'll have to assume that interest is charged annually.

interest = i = p*r*t, where p is the initial amount ($25000), r is the annual interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the length of time, in years.

Then  $2625 = $25000*0.035*t.  Solve for t:

$2625
------------ = 0.035t   =  0.105.  Dividing both sides by 0.035, we get
$25000

t = 3 years (answer)
