Question

Vinces office recycled a total of 28 kilograms of paper over 4 weeks. After 14 weeks, how many kilograms of paper will vinces office have recycled? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

Vince's office recycled a total of 28 kilograms of paper over 4 weeks.

For one week he recycled

`(28)/(4)=7\: kg`

So, Vince's office recycled 7 kg of paper over 1 week.

To find the amount of recycled paper after 14 weeks, multiply it with the unit rate.

`7*14=84\: kg`

Therefore, VInces office has 84 kg of paper recycled.
