Acertain municipality recycled five times as many tons of aluminium as plastic in one year. if the total amount recycled was 1026 tons, how much aluminum and how much plastic was recycled?

171 tons of plastic and 835 tons of aluminium was recycled

Step-by-step explanation:

So with the amount they recycle, it is a ratio of 5:1

Add those two together gives the number in which you divide 1026. 5 + 1 = 6

Now divide 1026 by 6.

1026 : 6 = 171

As there is five time more aluminium recycled than plastic, times 171 by 5. 171 * 5 = 835

Aluminium is easy. 171 tons of it.

sorry, i'm new here and i'm just trying to figure this out. try quizlet. rate 5* you!

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)

approx is 779.4 cm^2
