Question

A salt truck drops 39 kilograms of salt per minute.How manygrams of salt does the truck drop per second?

Answer 1

Can you break it down for me

Answer 2

One kilogram is 1000 grams, 39 times 1000 is 39000. You now have the truck that drops 39000 grams per second. Now you divide it by 60 because there is 60 seconds in one minute. 39000 divided by 60 is 650. The truck dropped 650 GRAMS per second. You can test it by multiplying 650 by 60 to get 39000.
