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.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:  Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Part of cookies eaten by  Scott = \dfrac25

Part of cookies eaten by sister = \dfrac{2}{9}

Fraction they both eat = \dfrac25+\dfrac29=\dfrac{9\times2+5\times2}{5\times9}

=\dfrac{18+10}{45}\\\\=\dfrac{28}{45}

Fraction of the bag remain = 1-\dfrac{28}{45}=\dfrac{45-28}{45}=\dfrac{17}{45}

[Taking fraction of whole bag =1]

Hence, Fraction they both eat = \dfrac{28}{45}.

Fraction of bag remains =  \dfrac{17}{45}
