\(18\ 060\ \text{kilograms per day}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Total cans made per hour}\)

\(=1250+900\)

\(= 2150\)

\(\text{Kilograms made in 1 hour}\)

\(=2150\times 350\)

\(=752\ 500\ \text{grams}\)

\(= 752.5\ \text{kilograms}\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Kilograms made in 1 day}\)	\(=752.5\times 24\)
	\(=18\ 060\)
