Total Microbial Mass given Food to Microorganism Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Microbial Mass = Daily BOD/Food to Microorganism Ratio
M_t = BOD/FM
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Microbial Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Microbial Mass is the cumulative mass of microorganisms present in a given sample or system. This includes bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microbes.
Daily BOD - (Measured in Kilogram) - Daily BOD load measures the amount of oxygen that microorganisms will consume while decomposing organic matter in a water sample over a 24-hour period.
Food to Microorganism Ratio - Food to Microorganism Ratio is actually a measurement of the amount of incoming food divided by the Lbs of Microorganisms in your system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Daily BOD: 3 Milligram --> 3E-06 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Food to Microorganism Ratio: 0.001 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_t = BOD/FM --> 3E-06/0.001

Evaluating ... ...

M_t = 0.003

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.003 Kilogram -->3 Gram (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3 Gram <-- Total Microbial Mass

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
