Problema Solution
In 4 minutes a conveyor belt moves 900 pounds of recycle aluminum from the delivery truck to a store area.a smaller belt moves the same quality of cans the same distance in 9 minutes. If both belts are use find how long it takes to move the cans to the storage area
Answer provided by our tutors
We could express the relationship as ratios:
900/x = 900/4 + 900/9
x=2.76
So it would take approximately 2.8 minutes to move 900 pounds of recycle aluminum into the storage area when both the larger and smaller conveyor belts are used.
