Problema Solution
In a certain year, the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average household is given by A=5.5t. It took about? days to produce 200 pounds of garbage?
Answer provided by our tutors
A=5.5t, where t is the number of days and A = pounds of garbage produced
we need to find for what t = ? there will be 200 pounds of garbage to produced that is A = 200 lbs
5.5*t = 200
t = 200/5.5
t = 36 2/5.5 days
t = 36.36 days
t = 36 rounded to integer
it takes about 36 days to produce 200 pounds of garbage.
