Per capita disposal rate in Ohio is 0.35 tons per resident per year. How much waste does the average person in Ohio generate? Pounds per year: Pounds per day:

Question

Also, How much waste did all residences of the state produce in that year? 

Answer 1

Since one ton = 2,000 lbs, you can convert 0.35 tons/person/year to 700 lbs/person/year.

 

To convert to pounds per day, you will have to know how many days there are in a year(assume not a leap year).

What will you do with that number?
