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.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A - $10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation f(x) = 0.50x + 10 is in the form

y = mx + c where m is the gradient and c is the intercept.

The price of the entrance fee will be the intercept because that is when x is equal to 0, meaning it will be $10.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Lisa will need 273.8\ cm of wood framing

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of rectangle is equal to

P=2(b+h)

In this problem we have

b=43.5\ cm

h=934\ mm

convert to cm

Remember that  1\ cm=10\ mm

h=934\ mm=934/10=93.4\ cm

substitute the values and solve the perimeter

P=2(43.5+93.4)=273.8\ cm
