Four friends took a road trip that lasted 50 hours round trip. Denny drove five times as long as Connor, while Pat and Seth drove the same amount of time. Connor drove half as long as Pat. How long did Denny drive?

Denny drove for 25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount of time Denny drove

Let the time Connor drove be c

Denny drove 5 times as this which is 5 * c = 5c

Conor drove half as long as Pat

So this means that Pat drove 2 times Conor = 2c

Seth is same as Pat which is also 2c

Adding all gives 50

c + 5c + 2c + 2c = 50

10c = 50

c = 50/10

c = 5 hours

Denny = 5 * c

= 5 * 5 = 25 hours

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:

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

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
