Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

Which of the following statements is true?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1/9 can be simplified to 1/3 as 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9  and 49/25 can be simplified to 7/5 as 7/5 x 7/5 = 49/25.

Now looking at both the fraction 1/3 and 7/5

1/3 simplifies to 0.34

It is an irrational value as the 3 keeps repeating.

7/5 simplifies to 1.4

It is a rational value as the decimal value is not repeating.

Thus making the second option the answer.
