Question 54280:
In the figure above, the length of AB is 2x and the length of BC is 3x. If a point is chosen at random from AC, what is the probability that the point will lie on BC?

In the figure above, the length of AB is 2x and the length of BC is 3x. If a point is chosen at random from AC, what is the probability that the point will lie on BC?
Prob(BC) = (BC)/(AC) =(3x)/(2x+3x)=(3x)/(5x)= 3/5
Cheers,
