Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the required probability,
We can split the 40 years of Eric into very small pieces of time dt. Now, If Eric dies at time t and Gary dies before Eric, the probability is :

Hence the probability that Gary dies first is given by :

Cross multiply
(3x - 1)(4x + 5) = (2x + 6)(6x - 4)
12x^2 + 11x - 5 = 12x^2 + 28x -24
Solve for x
-17x = -19
x = 19/17

5.99(1.75)= 10.4825
10.4825 to the nearest hundredth is 10.48
