Last year, beach cleanup volunteers collected garbage at a rate of 573 pounds per mile. they cleaned 17719 miles of coast. how much trash did they pick up in all?
Now wait a minute folks......if they collected 573 lbs. per mile and there were 17719 miles of coast......don't we want to multiply those two things together to get the total ????
