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.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
