Most americans throw away 1365 pounds of trash each year is it reasobable to estimate thay amerocans throw away over 10000.00 pounds of trash in 5years please explain the answer
No.
Multiply 1365 by 5.
To estimate if Americans throw away over 10,000 pounds of trash in 5 years, we can multiply the average annual amount of trash per person by the number of years.
Given that most Americans throw away 1,365 pounds of trash per year, we can calculate the total amount of trash thrown away by multiplying the annual amount by the number of years:
1,365 pounds/year * 5 years = 6,825 pounds
Therefore, based on this estimation, Americans throw away approximately 6,825 pounds of trash in five years. The amount is lower than 10,000 pounds, so it is not reasonable to estimate that Americans throw away over 10,000 pounds of trash in five years.
