But, come to think of it, it does sort of remind me of the economics of turning corn into whiskey as a more efficient (and value-added) way for western farmers of the early 19th century in the United States to ship their produce to market in that time.
This has to demonstrate that shipping Pork Rectums in the way you've illustrated is much more efficient a method than shipping as live pigs.
Interestingly, on a thread in January and earlier tonight, I attempted to decipher from "tons" of contaminated water an actually useful way of picturing the amount of water leaked from the Fukishima melt down. It proved to be less than the capacity of a cargo 747, when transferred from weight to gallons, for example.
And I was never a great lover of, so-called, "word problems," though I boast of maturing enough to recognize their necessity.
Interesting stuff. Thanks!
Clearly, math is our friend.
