- Based on the chart below, in 1965 each person produced 1.5 pounds of waste a day. There are 5 people in your family. Which equation below shows how to calculate the amount of waste your family produces in a week?
Ay = 1.5p + 7
By = 1.5p 7
Cy = 1.5p - 7
7.Based on the information in #6, which equation below could be used to calculate the amount of waste produced by your family for any given number of days?
y = amount of waste produced; p = # of people; t = time in days
Ay = 1.5p t
By = 1.5p/t
Cy = 1.5p - t
Ay = 1.5p + 7
By = 1.5p 7
Cy = 1.5p - 7
y = amount of waste produced; p = # of people; t = time in days
Ay = 1.5p t
By = 1.5p/t
Cy = 1.5p - t
