Final answer:
The equation to describe the relationship between the amount of recycling Ahmed and Kimaya collect is Kimaya's amount equals (7/5)X, where X represents the kilograms Ahmed collects.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ahmed collects X kilograms of recycling, and Kimaya collects 2/5 more than Ahmed.
To describe the relationship between the two quantities, we can set up an equation. If Ahmed's collection is represented by X, then Kimaya collects 2/5 of X in addition to X.
So, the amount Kimaya collects can be expressed as X + (2/5)X. This can be simplified to (1 + 2/5)X, which is (7/5)X. Kimaya's total collection in kilograms is therefore (7/5)X kilograms.
