Explanation:

Step1: Find the unit rate

First, find out how many kilograms of paper are recycled per week. If in 4 weeks, 20 kilograms are recycled, then the unit rate (kilograms per week) is \(20\div4 = 5\) kilograms per week.

Step2: Calculate for 6 weeks

Now that we know the unit rate is 5 kilograms per week, to find out how much is recycled in 6 weeks, we multiply the unit rate by 6. So, \(5\times6=30\) kilograms.

Answer:

30
