can someone help me understand this problem

"Assume everyone in the US consumes one aluminum can every two days. If there are 270 million Americans, how many tons of aluminum are needed a year if one can weighs 1 ounce?"

Ok but what does "every two days" exactly mean like is it every other day? and if it is every other day how many days of a week would that be. Wouldnt that depend on the day of the week you are starting with. Americans could be drinking soda 3 days a week or 4 days a week like I'm lost

Ain’t no way ur asking this in a Incel brain rot forum go ask chatgpt at least

Yeah, "every two days" means every other day, the average would be 3.5 days then per week youd take average of 3-4

i got o1 i can hook u up with the smartest answer

but every two days is probably just 3.5 days?

Well we can rub our single brain cells at each other and see what will come out of it
That’s the most help I can provide

so each american is 182.5 cans per year times 270,000,000 americans

 

[Deleted Member 53485]

thatll give u the amount in ounces, theres 32000 oz in a ton, so you divide that number by 32000

If u aren’t already, learn to use gpt by asking it basic queries rather than inputting the whole question for an answer. It’s more likely to be accurate as well. For better or for worse, Ilms are here to stay

well last sem for phys chatgpt and I had a rocky fucking relationship. I would give it my problem, but switch the numerical values with different ones, just so I could kinda get a step-by-step explanation on how to do it, but without it just telling me EXACTLY how to solve the problem. But it would forget shit sometimes. By the end of the sem I was just putting in questions word for word and it wouldn't always give me correct answers. U r right that it is gonna b here to stay but for some reason I feel guilty when I use it for school because I actually want to learn rather than just copy and paste stuff. I am dumb enough already I just don't want to become completely stupid.

 

[AllureBloom]

Agree with ya

365/2*1*270000000/32000= 1 539 843.75
If its wrong Im gonna rope

0.5x365x270,000,000=4.928×10¹⁰
49,280,000,000/32,000=1,540,000

ok genius

 

[ruk]

365/2=182.5,
270,000,000 people
1 ounce = 3.12e-5 tons, to find tons you divide by 32k

182.5 x 270,000,000 / 3.12e-5 or 32,000

holy shit i’m r****d it’s just 183 if we assume they start on the first day of the year

sorry

If each person consumes one can every two days, then in a year (365 days), each person consumes: Cans per person per year=2 days/can365 days=182.5 cans

With a population of 270 million Americans: Total cans=270,000,000 people×182.5 cans/person=49,275,000,000 cans

Each can weighs 1 ounce. Therefore, the total weight in ounces is: Total weight in ounces=49,275,000,000 cans×1 ounce/can=49,275,000,000 ounces

There are 16 ounces in a pound and 2,000 pounds in a ton. Thus, the conversion from ounces to tons is:
Total weight in tons=16 ounces/pound49,275,000,000 ounces×2000 pounds/ton1 pound =32,00049,275,000,000 tons≈1,540,273.4375 tons

Per year
