Approximately 60 percent of municipal solid waste in the united states is composed of some form of organic matter that could be composted. every american generates approximately 2 kg of waste every day. the amount of compostable waste that could be generated by one individual in a week would be closest to

The amount of compostable waste that could be generated by one individual in a week would be closest to kg.

Explanation:

We know that approximately 60 percent of municipal solid waste in the United States is composed of some form of organic matter that could be composted.

Now,if every american generates approximately 2 kg of waste every day, we first need to calculate the amount of waste that an american generates in a week.

We do this by multiplying the daily amount of waste per the amount of days in a week ⇒

We calculated that every week an american generates 14 kg of waste.

The final step is to calculate the 60% of 14 kg. We do this by multiplying 14 kg per 0.60 ⇒

We find that in a week an american generates 8.4 kg of compostable waste.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
