Answer:

243 trees were saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recycling one metric ton (1000 kg) of corrugated cardboard will save number of trees = 17

Warehouse recycled 14327 kg of cardboard last year. So we have to find the number of trees saved.

To find the number of trees we will use the unitary method.

∵ Recycling 1000 kg of cardboard number of trees saved = 17

∴ Recycling 1 kg cardboard number of trees saved = \frac{17}{1000}

∴ 14327 kg cardboard will save the number of trees = \frac{17}{1000}\times 14327

= 243.559

≈ 243 trees

Therefore, 243 trees were saved.

1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees

Solve 16(t - 1) + 10 > 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is it has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality

                   16(t - 1) + 10 > 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t

-Expand

                   16t - 16 + 10 > 8t + 16 + 4t - 4 + 4t

- Group like terms

                   16t - 8t - 4t - 4t > 16 - 4 + 16 - 10

-Simplify

                                       0 > 18

- It has no solution because the variable is cancelled.
