Question

A meat processing factory grinder produces 9 lbs per .75 hr packages of

ground beef, and since it needs to go to over seas bases for military
commissaries it also needs to be measured in Sl units for custom
inspections... what would be the equivalent kg/s label to put per package?

Answer 1

0.0015 kg/s.

Explanation:

In order to convert the rate of 9 lbs per 0.75 hr to SI units (kilograms per second), we need to follow these steps:

1. Convert pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kg).
2. Convert hours (hr) to seconds (s).

We have

• 1 pound (lb) is approximately equal to 0.45359237 kilograms (kg).
• 1 hour (hr) is equal to 3600 seconds (s) (since 1 hour has 60 minutes and 1 minute has 60 seconds).

Now, let's apply these conversions to the given rate of 9 lbs per 0.75 hr:

First, convert pounds to kilograms:

`\sf 9 lbs * 0.45359237 kg/lb = 4.08233133 kg`

Next, convert hours to seconds:

`\sf 0.75 hr * 3600 s/hr = 2700 s`

Now, the equivalent rate in kilograms per second or SI units:

Now, substituting Value:

`\sf (9lbs)/(0.75 hr)= (4.08233133kg )/(2700 s)= 0.0015119745666`

While doing round off:

`\sf (4.08233133kg )/(2700 s) \approx 0.0015\textsf{ kg/s per package}`

So, the equivalent kg/s label or SI unit to put on each package of ground beef would be approximately 0.0015 kg/s.
