Task 2 - 020522

The oil pipeline "Friendship Route" will be about 4000 km long. Every hour, the GDR will receive 540 t of oil through this pipeline.

a) How many tons is that per minute?

b) How many kilograms is that per second?
a) If 540 t of crude oil are transported in one hour, this amounts to $\frac{540}{60}=9$ tons per minute.

b) $9 \mathrm{t}$ are $9000 \mathrm{~kg}$, so that $\frac{9000}{60}=150 \mathrm{~kg}$ are transported per second.
