Answer:
• 36.4 kg of coal.
• 80 pounds of coal.
Explanation:
Using proportionality constant,
Mass of coal = 1,000,000/27,500,000 btus/metric ton
= 0.0364 metric tons of coal
Mass of coal = 1,000,000/25,000,000 btus/ton
= 0.04 tons of coal.
Converting metric tons to kilogram,
1 metric ton = 1000kg,
0.0364 metric ton;
= 36.4 kg of coal.
Converting tons to pounds,
1 ton = 2000 pounds,
0.04 metric ton;
= 80 pounds of coal.
