County Amount Recycled Amount Disposed of
A 16,700 142,000
B 8,800 48,000
C 13,000 51,400
D 3,900 20,300
E 3,300 16,200
The table above shows the amount of waste material, in tons, recycled by each of five counties in a single year and the amount of waste material, also in tons, that was disposed of in landfills by the five counties in that year. Which county had the lowest ratio of waste material disposed of to waste material recycled in the year reported in the table?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E
OG answer explanation simply said to divide "amount disposed of" by "amount recycled" for each county. Great, but that would take way too long, especially under time constraints. Can anyone find an easier, faster way of solving this, please?
