Answer from: Robinlynn228

Given:

Total ribbon beth had = 1 yard

Ribbon used for project = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ yard

She wants to divide the rest of the ribbon into $\dfrac{1}{6}$ yard pieces.

To find:

The number of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ yard pieces of ribbon she can make.

Solution:

Total ribbon beth had = 1 yard

Ribbon used for project = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ yard

Remaining ribbon is

$1-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

She wants to divide the rest of the ribbon into $\dfrac{1}{6}$ yard pieces.

Let the number of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ yard pieces of ribbon she can make be x.

$\dfrac{1}{6}x=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{1}{6}x\times 6=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 6$

$x=2\times 2$

x=4

Therefore, number of $\dfrac{1}{6}$ yard pieces of ribbon she can make is 4.

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
