Amount of sludge dispose per minutes is 100 lb.
What is Rate of change?
A rate is anything that can be measured over time. Common rates include velocity (which is the rate of distance traveled), power (rate of work being done), etc. All these have one thing in common which is that they are all divided by the amount of time it took to obtain a certain measurement.
Here it is given that :
A pump can dispose of sludge at the rate of 6,000 lb/h, that is in one hour pump dispose 6000 lb of sludge.
it is known that 1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, to find the amount of sludge dispose by pump in ome minute we divide 6000 with 60 :
amount of sludge dispose in one hour = 6000 lb
amount of sludge dispose in 60 minutes = 6000 lb
amount of sludge dispose in 1 minutes = 6000 lb/60 = 100 lb
Therefore, amount of sludge dispose per minutes is 100 lb
