Answer:
Center a processes it faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Center B math: 2 tons as pounds is 4000 pounds.
4000/7=571.43 pounds a day
571.43/24=23.81 pounds a hour
23.81 pounds per hour is less than 100 pounds an hour. so center a is the faster one.
Answer:
Center A process aluminium faster
Because
Center A process 8.4 Tons of aluminium per week while center B processes 2 tons per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Topic: Unit Conversion
Given
Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium
A = 100 pounds per hour
Center B Rate of Processing Aluminium
B = 2 tons per week
To solve this question, the following assumptions will be made
- Both centers operate 24 hours a day
- Both centers operate 7 days a week
Having said that, the first step is to make conversions.
We either convert pounds to tons or tons to pounds.
Converting Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium from Pounds to Tons
1 Pound = 0.0005 Tons
So, 100 Pounds = 0.0005 * 100
100 Pounds = 0.05 Tons.
So, Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium is 0.05 Tons per hour
Before we make comparison, both must be in the same unit.
i.e. either in Tons per hour or Tons per units.
Converting Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium from Tons per hour to Tons per week
There are 24 hours a day;
So, Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium is 0.05 Tons/hr* 24 hr/day
Converting Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium is 1.2 Tons / day
There are 7 days a week;
So, Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium is 1.2 Tons/ day * 7 days / week
Converting Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium is 8.4 Tons / week
At this point, we have the following
Center A Rate of Processing Aluminium = 8.4 Tons / week
Center B Rate of Processing Aluminium = 2 tons per week
By Comparison,
8.4 Tons per week is greater than 2 tons per week; So, Center A process aluminium faster
