Two number cubes are rolled to determine how a token moves on a game board. The sides of each number cube are numbered 1, 2, 3,
4, 5 and 6.
There are two options describing how the token will be moved.
Option A: If the product is even, move forward 4 spaces. Otherwise, move backward 3.
Option B: If the product is even, move forward 5 spaces. Otherwise, move backward 4.
Use mathematical expectation to determine which option offers the greater likelihood of moving closer to the finish line on the game board.
Which statement best explains the better option?
The mathematical expectation of Option A is 2.75. The mathematical expectation of Option B is 2.25. Option A offers a greater likelihood of advancing to the finish line.

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident pound.
Given that population of the city
Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.
To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.
Total garbage collected pounds
Total garbage collected pounds
Total garbage collected pounds
Hence final answer is pounds.
