Answer 2

$\mathbb{\red{\huge{HEY\:MATE}}}$

$\boxed{HERE\:IS\:YOUR\:ANSWER}$

$\mathfrak{\green{ANSWER:}}$

605 = 3.5 * w + f (w = pounds per hour, f = fixed overhead time)

2100 = 10 * w + f

2100 - 605 = 6.5 w

w = 230

f = --200

Equation is: Amount processed = (230 lbs/hour * hours) - 200

Amount processed in 12 hours = 12 * 230 - 200

2560 pounds.

(which is 2 x 230 or 460 lbs more than in 10 hours)
