Question

about 75% of the waste produced in the U.S is recyclable. Micah’s family has 40 pounds of trash . he wants to estimate how much of this trash is recyclable

Answer 1

Answer: 30 pounds are recyclable

Step-by-step explanation: If you convert 75% to a fraction, it is
`(3)/(4)`. If you create an equivalent fraction by multiplying 10 by the denominator and numerator, you get
`(30)/(40)`, which gives you 30 out of 40 pounds.
