Question

The sanitation department calculated that last year each city resident produced approximately 1.643 × 103 pounds of garbage. There are 2.61 × 105 people living in the city. How much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year?

Answer 1

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.
