Solution: We are given:

On an average, one person in United states throws away 4.5 \times 10^{2} g/day

In 2013, the population in United states =3.2 \times 10^{6}

So in 2013, 4.5 \times 10^{2} \times 3.2 \times 10^{6}=1.44 \times 10^{9} g/day of trash was thrown away.

In 2013, the number of days = 365

Therefore, in 2013 the amount of trash thrown away is:

1.44 \times 10^{9} \times 365=5.26 \times 10^{11}=5.3 \times 10^{11} g

Assume that a varies directly as b. What is the constant of proportionality if a = 8 when b = 2?
Lena [83]

Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a varies directly as b then the equation relating them is

a = kb ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition a = 8 when b = 2

k = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
