Answer:

80 lbs of Peanuts

Step-by-step explanation:

4 lbs per minute and we are looking for 30 mins.

1) 1.5x2=3 minutes

2) 30/10= 3 minutes

3) 4lbsx2 cycles of the machine= 8lbs in 3 minutes

4) we can take those 8 lbs and times them by 10 since we know 3 minutes is 1/10th of a 30 minute cycle.

5) 8x10=80
