When 2,000 pounds of paper are recycled or reused, 17 trees are saved. how many trees are saved if 5,000 pounds of paper is recycled? how many trees are saved if 10,000 pounds of paper is recycled? when 2,000 pounds of paper are recycled or reused, 17 trees are saved. how many trees are saved if 5,000 pounds of paper is recycled? how many trees are saved if 10,000 pounds of paper is recycled?

if 2,000 pounds of paper equal 17 trees then multiply it by 2

4,000 pounds of paper = 34

if you divide 2,000 by 2 then you would get 1,000

1,000 pounds of paper = 8.5 trees

Now add them together:

34+8.5=42.5

5,000 pounds = 42.5 trees.

if you multiply it by 2 you'll get your answer for 10,000 pounds

10,000 pounds= 85 trees

Hope this helps! :3

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 think the answer is d im not sure
