Alicia is making cupcakes for a party she is having and wants to make sure everyone gets at least 1 cupcake

the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every batch and each batch makes 21 cupcakes if the part will have a total of 84 people attending how many teaspoon of salt will alicia need.

Let's imagine that x is the number of teaspoon of salt needed to make at least 84 cupcakes.

So we know that, 1 batch makes 21 cupcakes, and we need at least 84 cupcakes, so the number of cupcakes batch needed here should be:

84 ÷ 21 = 4 (batches)

Since we knew the number of batches that we need to make the cupcakes, we now calculate the amount of sugar needed. We have:

1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 1 batch.

x teaspoon of salt for every 4 batches.

x = (4 . 1/2) . 1 = 2 (teaspoons)

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

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
