A six row combin harvests 266 pounds of corn per min. How many bushels of corn does it harvest per hour? (Note: 1 Bu = 56 Lbs) Round to the nearest Whole Number.

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, you can apply the following formula:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So:

In this case you can apply it in the following way: if 56 pounds is equal to 1 bushel, 266 pounds to how many bushels is it?

x=4.75

This is, a six row combin harvests 4.75 bushels of corn per min.

So, being 1 hour equal to 60 minutes, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 minute a six-row harvester harvests , in 60 minutes how many bushels of corn it harvests?

bushels of corn=  285

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
