Question

The variable W represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan and the variable P represents the total kilograms of paper recycled. How many weeks will it take Tessa's office to recycle a total of 45 kg of paper

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take $\frac{45W}{P}$ weeks to recycle a total of 45 kg of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

W represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan

P represents the total kilograms of paper recycled.

It took weeks to recycle P kilograms of paper = W

It took weeks to recycle 1 kilogram of paper =$\frac{W}{P}$

It took weeks to recycle 45 kilograms of paper =$\frac{W}{P} \times 45$

Hence It will take $\frac{45W}{P}$ weeks to recycle a total of 45 kg of paper
