Answer:

66 kg

Explanation:

We know that in a total of 7 weeks, the office recycled 42 kg of paper.

We are asked to find how many kgs of paper were recycled after 11 weeks, (if the paper over each week was consistent, respectively)

To do this, we first need to know how much paper was recycled in 1 week.

Total amount of paper/weeks

42/7

=6

So, 6 kg of paper was recycle each week.

Now, we need to know how much paper was recycled after 11 weeks:

11·6

=66

So, 66 kg of paper was recycled after 11 weeks.

Hope this helps! :)
