It would take an average MLK student 35 days to generate their own weight in garbage.

An equation we could write to solve this problem is:

[tex]4d=140[/tex]

(where d is the number of days it would take you to generate a student's weight in garbage)

Solve the equation for d by dividing each side by 4.

[tex]d=35[/tex]
