Hi, TheRaquel! All we have to do is do 1,365 x 5! Or estimate, at least. At first glance at this question, I thought, 'Obviously not, it's 5,000!' But at second glance, I realized the numbers at the end. Make sure to keep those in mind.

Multiplying exactly it's 6,825. So, no. It is not reasonable to estimate that Americans throw away over 10,000 pounds of trash in 5years.

I hope I helped! :)
