Explain or show how you could find 5 ÷ 1/3 by using the value of 5x3.

20

You could find 5/⅓

by using 5 × 3

Knowing that:

Any number multiplied by 1, gives the number itself.

Dividing any number by itself gives 1.

Writing 5/⅓ as 5/⅓ × 1 doesn't change the value.

Then I can write 5/⅓ as

5/⅓ × (5×3)/(5×3) = 1

This can become

[5×(5×3)] / [(⅓) × (5×3)]

= 75/(15/3)

= 75/5

= 15

or

12/ 3/5

= [12/ (3/5)] × [(5×3)/(5×3)]

= 12×(5×3) / (3/5)×(5×3)

= (12×5×3) / [(3×5×3)/5]

= 180 / (45/5)

= 180 / 9

= 20

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
