Answer:
In 1 hour the average of eroded material is 860 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In Arizona carries an average of 14 1/3 pounds of eroded material past a given point each minute.
To find : How many pound of eroded material does the Verde river carry past a given point each hour of the Verde river?
Solution :
We have given that,
In 1 minute the average of eroded material is [tex]14\frac{1}{3}[/tex] pounds.
i.e, In 1 minute the average of eroded material is [tex]\frac{43}{3}[/tex] pounds.
1 hour = 60 minutes
In 60 minute the average of eroded material is [tex]60\times \frac{43}{3}[/tex] pounds.
In 60 minute the average of eroded material is [tex]860[/tex] pounds.
i.e, In 1 hour the average of eroded material is 860 pounds.
