The figure below shows a simplified flowchart of sugar manufacturing.Sugarcane is fed to a mill where syrup (E) is extracted by grinding. The resulting "bagasse" (D) contains 64% pulp. The syrup (E) is fed to a mesh that separates all the pulp and produces a clear syrup (H) free of pulpcontaining 15% sugar and 85% water.

Evaporator produces a "heavy" syrup (K) and the crystallizer produces 1000 lb/h of sugar crystals. All percentages indicated are percentages by weight. With this information and additional information that is indicated in the diagram, calculate:
a. The water removed in the evaporator (current J) in lb/h.
b. The sugarcane feed flow (current F) in Ib/h.
