In school, Philip learned that the average person produces 50 pounds of recyclables every month. But, they usually throw away twice that much garbage. He wonders what that means for his family. Philip lives with his mother, father, and 2 sisters. About how many tons of garbage does Philip's family throw away every year?

6000 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

dirt thrown by one person = 50 x 2 = 100

there are 5 people in the home

dirt thrown by the family in a month = 100 x 5 = 500

In a year = 500 x 12 = 6000

the answer is 0.071
