Answer:

1.8 minutes or 108 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that the larger belt moves 300 lbs in 2 mins. And this is equal to 150 lb per minute

The question also tells us that a smaller belt moves the same quantity of 300 lbs in 18 mins. And this is equal to an average of 16.667 lb per min.

Both belts will move at a rate of 166.667 lb per min.

So it will take them 300 / 166.667 = 1.8 min or 108 s.

Therefore, the answer is 1.8 min
