Recycling one glass bottle can save enough energy to power an oven for 7.5 minutes. a glass bottle weighs 500 grams. glass used for recycling costs 5p per kg. how much would it cost to power an oven for 6 hours?

This is a units conversion problem: you have time and you want to convert that to money. Any units conversion problem involves multiplication by 1 in various forms. When you are given 7.5 min = 1 bottle = 500g, you know that (500 g)/(7.5 min) = 1 because the numerator and denominator are equal. (Of course, you are aware that 500 g = 0.500 kg.) The idea is to choose the forms of 1 that cause units you don't want to cancel, leaving only the units you do want.

The glass for recycling that would save enough energy to power an oven for 6 hours costs 120p.
