In order to estimate human impact on the environment we can
A)multiply the number of people times affluence per person times resources used and wastes produced (I=P x A x T)
B)multiply resource depletion times number of years divided by number of people (I = R x Y ÷ P)
C)multiply birth rate times consumption patterns divided by available resources (I= B x C ÷ R)
D)Divide number of people by resources needed and wastes produced (I = P ÷ T)

The correct formula for estimating human impact on the environment is given by the IPAT equation, where I = Environmental Impact, P = Population, A = Affluence, and T = Technology. This formula (I=P x A x T) helps in understanding how population size, affluence, and technology contribute to environmental impact.
