Q. A hydroelectric plant uses water to create electricity. Before water enters the plant, it passes through two filters. Engineers found a total of 2,118 pieces of litter in the filters. There were 670 pieces of litter in the first filter. How many pieces of litter were in the second filter?_____ pieces of litter
Identify Total Litter: Step 1: Identify total litter and litter in the first filter.Total litter = 2,118 pieces.Litter in the first filter = 670 pieces.
Calculate Litter in Second Filter: Step 2: Subtract the litter in the first filter from the total litter to find the litter in the second filter.Calculation: 2,118−670=1,448.
