Title: Re: By what factor is 2003 per capita MSW greater than 1960 per capita MSW? Post by: how_mendel on Jul 16, 2012 1960 MSW = 2.7 lbs/cap.
2003 MSW 4.5 lbs/cap. 4.5/2.7 = 1.66, that is, 2003 per capita MSW is greater than 1960 per capita MSW by a factor of 1.66 Or: 4.5-2.7/2.7 = 0.67 % higher (Note the leveling off of the curve between 1990 and 2003. ) |
