There are 24 hours in a day, so 1/4 of a day is 6 hours.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so there are 60 * 6 = 360 minutes in 1/4 of a day.
Therefore, the Verde River carries 14 1/3 * 360 = 5140 pounds of eroded material past a given point in 1/4 of a day.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so there are 60 * 6 = 360 minutes in 1/4 of a day.
Therefore, the Verde River carries 14 1/3 * 360 = 5140 pounds of eroded material past a given point in 1/4 of a day.
