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

24 points scored in 4 games; 48 points scored in 10 games... are they equivalent?
ch4aika [34]

Hello.

24 points scored in 4 games = 24 * 4.

24 * 4 = 96

48 points scored in 10 games = 48 * 10

48 * 10 = 480

<em>96≠480, they are not equivalent.</em>

Question # 5 what is the sum?​
Blizzard [7]
Answer: C) d+13/d+4

Here’s why:

Step 1: Rewrite the factor
d^2 + 7d +4d +28 / (d+4)^2 + 6 / d+4

Step 2 : factor out d from the expression and factor out 4 from the expression
d × (d+7) + 4(d+7) / (d+4) ^2 + 6 / d+4

Step 3: Factor out d+7 from the expression
(d+7) × (d+4) / (d+4) ^2 + 6 / d+4

Step 4: simply the expression
d+7 / d+4 + 6/ d+4

Step 5: write all numerators above the common denominator
d+7+6 / d+4

Step 6: add the numbers and you get
d+13 / d+4
