Round off the fractions! 3/7 rounds off (down) to 0 and 7/13 (being greater than 1/2) rounds up to 1. Then we have (24 + 0) / (3+1) = 24/4 = 6.

Unfortunately, this is "quite far" from the actual quotient, 6.9037.

We could experiment: Let 24 3/7 become 24 1/2 and 3 7/13 become 3 1/2.

(24 1/2) / (3 1/2) = (25/2) / (7/2) = 49/2 / (7/2) = 7 (which is "close" to the actual value, 6.9037.

Let's conclude that the estimation is between 6.9 and 7.0.

the average u.s. citizen throws away about 1,606 lb of trash each year. find this rate in pounds per month, to the nearest tenth

erik [133]

Answer:

The average U.S. citizen throws away about 133.8 pounds of garbage a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the total amount of trash thrown away in a year (1,606), and divide it by the number of months in a year (12).

1,606 / 12 = 133.833333

You would get 133.833333 and would round it to the nearest tenth and get 133.8.
