Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Manish prepares 43 pounds of metal in 2 hours and 36 minutes. At the same rate, How many ounces of metal will he prepare in 3 minutes?

2

Step

43 pounds of metal in 2 hours and 36 minutes.

3

Hint

First, let’s convert 2 hours and 36 minutes to a single time unit, which is minutes:

2 hours = \$2 \ times 60\$ = 120 minutes

4

Step

Total time = 120 minutes + 36 minutes = 156 minutes

5

Formula:

Now, calculate Manish’s rate of preparing metal in pounds per minute:

\$ "Rate" = ("Amount of metal") / "Time" \$

6

Step

After substitution, we get

\$ "Rate" = (43 "pounds") / (156 "minutes")\$

\$"Rate" = 0.2756 "pounds per minute" \$

7

Step

Now, convert the rate to ounces. Remember that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces

8

Step

Rate in ounces per minute:

\$0.2756 "pounds per minute" \times 16 "ounces per pound"\$

9

Step

After multiplication, we get

4.4096 ounces per minute

10

Step

Metal prepared in 3 minutes

\$"Rate" times "Time"\$

11

Step

Metal prepared in 3 minutes

\$4.4096 "ounces" times 3 "minutes" = 13.23 "ounces"\$

12

Step

So, at the same rate, Manish will prepare approximately 13.23 ounces of metal in 3 minutes.
