In the next part it says:
How many days does it take an average household to produce 100lbs of garbage?

Using te given equation:
a =4.5t

Replace "a" with the amount given:

100 = 4.5t

Solve for t to get the required time.

Does this mean t =22.2222?

Round to the nearest whole number would mean 22,0000? It has been ages?

saifoo.khan · Answer

Yes. It will be 22.2222

After rounding off it will be 22. Hence 22 days.
