How many shell corn bushel to make 100 pounds of cornmeal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each bushel of corn weighs about 56 pounds. So 100 pounds x (1 bushel/56 pounds) = 1.786 bushels. 100 pounds of corn is about the same as 1.8 bushels. From: http://ts.nist.gov/WeightsAndMeasures/Metric/upload/fs376-b.pdf

NOTE: Agricultural products that are sold by the bushel in the United States are often sold by weight in other countries. There can be a considerable variation in the weight per unit volume due to differences in variety, size, or condition of the commodity, tightness of pack, degree to which the container is heaped, etc. The following conversion factors are used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for statistical purposes:

Corn and wheat are not the same, no. Corn is a big yellow grain that you probably recognize on the cob. Wheat is a small golden grain that you might have seen in a cornucopia at Thanksgiving.

Soybean meal is 12 percent protein cornmeal is 6 percent protein How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 240-lb mixture that is 18 percent pprotein?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ratio is 5:3 Soybean meal to cornmeal to get proper percentage of protein.

For every 5 pounds of soybean meal, there are 3 pounds of cornmeal

Add these together to get 8 lbs. 320/8=40

5*40=200

3*40=120

So you need 200 pounds soybean meal, 120 pounds cornmeal to equal 320 lbs total with an 11% protein mixture

How can you use the scientific method to explain why insects seem to suddenly appear in flour fruit and cornmeal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Create a hypothesis regarding why the insects seem to suddenly appear. 2. Create an experiment to test that hypothesis. 3. Collect and analyze the results of the experiment. 4. Finally, draw conclusions whether the results support your hypothesis. For example, a hypothesis might be that insects appear in flour, fruit, and cornmeal because they hatch from eggs, which were deposited when the observer wasn't looking. To test that hypothesis, a sample experiment may be to place flour, fruit, or cornmeal in two separate jars. In one jar, put a lid on it. Leave the other jar open. For a week or so, look at the jars daily and write down whether you see insects. If you do, jot that down. These are your results. After a week or so, you can look at the results and compare them. If insects appear in both jars, the experiment did not support the hypothesis. (NOTE: that doesn't mean the hypothesis is wrong; only that that experiment did not support it.) If insects appear only in the closed jar, then you could conclude that your hypothesis was supported by the experiment. Again, that doesn't mean your hypothesis is right; only that it was supported by the experiment. Based on your conclusions, you can make a new hypothesis, which could further refine the cause of the insects.

What is cornmeal used for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Corn is in pretty much everything we buy off the shelf in grocery stores. There are things like corn flour, corn syrup, corn oil, and other compounds that come from corn that are used in foods like pudding, Twinkies, potato chips, soda pop, salad dressing, etc. Corn is even used as an animal feed, and is found as meat from pork, chicken and beef. Corn is packaged up and sold on the produce market as husked corn for making corn-on-the-cob, or partly dehusked and sold on a styrofoam platter wrapped in cellophane. Corn kernels are packaged up and frozen to be boiled up on the stove for supper; corn is even pickled and canned. The list is endless.

How do you make corn meal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cornmeal is ground corn. To make cornmeal, kernels are dried and then ground to either a fine, a medium or a coarse texture. Packages are labeled stone-ground or steel-ground. The stone-ground method, sometimes referred to as water-ground, retains some of the hull and the germ while steel-ground cornmeal has mostly the endosperm.

Can you use yellow cornmeal to make slime?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, by mixing it with glue, you can make a certain type of slime which feels hard when you forcefully hit it with your finger, but soft and goey when you lightly rest you finger on it and let it sink.


You could also do this:

  • Put desired amount of corn starch in a container
  • Pour water with the corn starch
  • Mix
  • Put your fingerS (plural) in along with your whole hand, (optional), and at first, it's solid, but when it runs through your fingers, its liquid! YAY!!
