A mixture of green paint contains 9 pints of blue paint and 12 pints of yellow paint. To make the same shade of green paint using using 21 pints of blue paint, how much yellow would you need?

28 pints of yellow paint needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture of green paint = 9 pints of blue paints : 12 pints of yellow paint

Blue paint : yellow paint = 9 : 12

To make the same shade of green paint using using 21 pints of blue paint, how much yellow would you need?

Let

x = pints of yellow pint needed

Blue paint : yellow paint = 21 : x

Equate the ratios to find x

Blue paint : yellow paint

9 : 12 = 21 : x

9/12 = 21/x

Cross multiplication

9 * x = 12 * 21

9x = 252

Divide both sides by 9

x = 252 / 9

= 28

pints of yellow pint needed = x

= 28

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

the answer is 8/21

hope this
