(GPGP) is a zone of plastic debris accumulated in the ocean between California and Hawaii. A ship and aircraft survey predicted about 79,000 tons of plastic are floating inside an area of 1.6 million kilometers square. This survey estimates 75%of the mass was from pieces larger than 5 cm, microplastics for only 8% of the total mass but 94% of the estimated 1.8trillion pieces of floating plastic in the GPGP. Use MATLAB to estimate the following:

a. The average weight of a piece of plastic debris in the GPGP.

b. The average number of pieces of plastic debris in one square mile of the GPGP.

c. The volume in square yards of the GPGP if it were condensed into one solid mass: base your estimation a density of plastic at 1.2 grams per cubic cm.
