Let's Just See How Many Times 30 Goes Into 180

(180)/(30) = 6

Since 8 trash bags last 30 days, let's multiply

$6 * 8 = 48 \: bags$

Set up the proportion. Then cross multiply and isolate the variable to solve.

(8(trash bags))/(30 (days)) = (x (trash bags))/(180 (days))

8(180)= 30(x)

(8(180))/(30) = (30x)/(30)

8(6) = x

48 = x

Answer: 48 trash bags
