A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail? Answer in % form.
If someone could show me the steps I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Probability that gear 1 will fail = 5/100 (upto 10 years) 
and 8/100 (after 10 years)

Probability that both will fail = 5/100 * 8/100
= 40/10000
= 0.4 %

In the morning, Marco sold 12 cups of lemonade for $3. By the end of the day, he had earned $9. How many cups of lemonade did he
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Marco earned $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If Marco sold 12 cups of lemonade for 3$, we would divide 12 cups and how much he earned from the 12 cups (3$). 12/3 = 4

2. By the end of the day, Marco earned $9. So, 4 cups = 1$. To break it down, 1$ = 100 cents and 100 cents divided by 4 is 25 cents.  Cups to Cost. ( 4 : 1 ) and/or ( 1 : 0.25 )

3. 8 cups = 2$ plus 1 cup (0.25) = 2.25.

Parabola Skate Rental rents skate boards for $4.50 per hour with a rental fee of $35. Arc of Hawk Skate Rental rents skate board
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: \bold{13\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{hours}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Parabola Skate Rental:   4.50x + 35

Arc Hawk Skate Rental:  5.25x + 25


If you want to know when their cost will be the same, set the equations equal to each other.

5.25x + 25 = 4.50x + 35

0.75x + 25 = 35          <em>subtracted 4.50x from both sides</em>

0.75x = 10           <em>subtracted 25 from both sides</em>          

     x=\dfrac{1000}{75}        <em>divided both sides by 0.75</em>

     x = 13\dfrac{1}{3}        <em>simplified the fraction</em>
