Suppose a household of 4 people produces 128 lb of garbage in one week. At this rate, how many pounds will 48 people produce in 1 week?

1,536 lb or 696.718 kg

verification:

4 p = 128 lb

48 p = ?

48 ÷ 4 = 12

128 × 4 = 1,536 lb

48 p = 1,536 lb

explanation:

If 4 people make 128 lb of garbage in one week then 48 people would make 1,536 lb of garbage in one week because the difference between 4 and 48 is 12 (48 ÷ 4 = 12) so if you multiply 128 lb by 12 you get 1,536 lb of garbage ( 128 × 12 = 1,536 lb).

4

step-by-step explanation:

6 (donuts) divided by 3 is 2.

so 2/3 means 2 times 2, which is 4/6.

you get two and your friend gets four.

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
