There are 8 forks in the silverware drawer. there are 2 more knives than forks, and there are twice as many spoons as knives. how many pieces of silverware are there in all?

The total number of pieces in the set of silverware is 38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of forks in the set of silverware  = 8

Number of knives = 2 more than the Number of forks  

                                = 2 + 8   = 10

Number of spoons = 2 x Number of knives

                               = 2 x(10)  = 20

Total number of pieces in silverware = Number of { Forks+ Knives +Spoons}

=  8+ 10+ 20  

= 38

or, total pieces =  38

Hence, the total number of pieces in the set of silverware is 38.

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:

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

white population

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

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

non hispanic white population

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

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

non hispanic white males

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

yes

step-by-step explanation:

they have to be opposite and reciprocal of eachother.
