Calculate the total amount of waste recycled by multiplying the number of people by the average amount of waste recycled per person. So,
2170
×
395.4
=
858018
2170×395.4=858018
kg
2Convert the weight from kilograms to tonnes by dividing by 1000, since 1 tonne = 1000 kg. Therefore,
858018
1000
=
858.018
1000
858018
=858.018
3Round the result to 2 decimal places to get 858.02 tonnes
4For the estimation check, we can estimate the total weight recycled by rounding the number of people to the nearest hundred and the average weight recycled per person to the nearest hundred. So,
2200
×
400
=
880000
2200×400=880000 kg, which is approximately 880 tonnes
5Since the actual answer is 858.02 tonnes, which is close to the estimated 880 tonnes, the calculation is verified.
So, the answer is 858.02 tonnes.
Answer:
2170 times 395.4 is 358018
Then 1ton is 1000kg what about 358018
is 358.018 tonnes
the answer is 3.58018
