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
`14(1)/(3)` pounds.

i.e, In 1 minute the average of eroded material is
`(43)/(3)` pounds.

1 hour = 60 minutes

In 60 minute the average of eroded material is
`60* (43)/(3)` pounds.

In 60 minute the average of eroded material is
`860` pounds.

i.e, In 1 hour the average of eroded material is 860 pounds.
