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.

Answer:

133.83 lb/month, or 133.8 lb/month to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to find the unit rate of throwing stuff away.

To do this, divide 1,606 lb by 12 months, since we want the answer in pounds per month:

1,606 lb

------------- = 133.83 lb/month, or 133 5/6 lb/month

A water wheel has a radius of 4 feet and the bottom of the wheel is 1 foot from the ground. one plank is painted white and it st

Sliva [168]

The correct option is 9 feet.

The height from the ground the white plank after the motion is 9 feet.

<h3>What is rotational motion?</h3>

Anything that spins or moves in a circular route is said to be in rotational motion. It's also referred to as angular motion and circular motion. The motion can be uniform (— in other words, the velocity v remains constant) and non-uniform, but it must be circular.

Now, according to the question;

The wheel's radius is 4 feet.

The height of a bottom of a wheel from the ground equals 1 foot.

π/3 radians is the angle where the wheel is rolled.

The following relationship describes the height of a revolving wheel.

f(t) = A·sin(B·t + C) + D

Where,

D = Mid line = 4 + 1 = 5 feet

B·t = π/3

C = 0

amplitude; A = 4

Substituting the values in the function;

f(t) = 4×sin(π/3) + 5 = 8.464 ft

f(t) = 9 (approx)

Therefore, the plank's height after the /3π/3 rotation motion = 9 ft.

Which equation could be used to solve for the measure of side Q in the triangle QRS shown below given...

Rama09 [41]

The image is missing, so i have attached it

Answer:

Equation is;

q/sin 105 = 15/sin 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Angle Q = 105°

Angle S = 30°

s = 15

From sine rule we know that;

a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C.

Thus, applying that to this question, we can find side q.

Thus;. q/Sin Q = s/Sin S

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

q/sin 105 = 15/sin 30
