Answer:

1. 860 2. 5160

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

If the river carry’s 14 1/3 pound of material each minute than to find how much in 1 hour you would have to multiply it by 60 because that’s how much minutes are in a hour. You would get 860.

2.

1/4 of a day is 6 hours. So to get the answer you would multiply 860 by 6 to get 5160 pounds.
