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?

These are independent events so
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Therefore
P(Both gears fail) = 0.05 * 0.08 = 0.004 or 0.4%

Sound travels through sea water at a speed of about 1500 meters per second. At this rate, how far will sound travel in 2 minutes
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

180,000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so:

2 min × 60 s/min = 120 s

Distance = rate × time

d = 1500 m/s × 120 s

d = 180,000 m

Anyone? Please I need help!!
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

  the correct choice is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...

  8x -x = 280

  7x = 280 . . . . . simplify

  x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7

The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:

  \dfrac{8}{1}=\dfrac{8\cdot40}{1\cdot40}=\dfrac{320}{40}

Why do new cars costing $20,000 rent for $40 a day, while tuxedos costing only $500 rent for around $90?

You use cars for much longer than you use a tuxedo. A tuxedo is once-off, whereas cars you use for days and days and days... After a while, the <span>$</span>20 you pay per day is going to add up!

What's 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4=​
Art [367]

Answer:

16  1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCD of 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4 is 12; 12 is evenly divisible by 3, 2 and 4.

We can rewrite this expression as:

6 + 5 + 4 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/4, or

    15        +4/12 + 6/12 + 3/12, or

    15         + 13/12, or

     16  1/12
