Adrian, ben and charlie share some sweets in the ratio of 8: 5: 10.
charlie got 24 more sweets than adrian.
work out the total number of sweets.

252 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = 8x

Let B = 5x

Let C = 10x

10x = 8x + 24         Subtract 8x from both sides

10x - 8x = 24          Do the subtraction

2x = 24                   Divide by 2

2x/2 = 24/2            Do the division

x = 12

So Adrian has 8*12 = 96 candies.

Ben has 5 * 12 =         60 candies

Charlie has 10*12 =    120 candies

Total                      =  276 candies

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001005

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497

i have not got your picture clearly so see it once again
