Please read the problem :(, the question is how many gallons of milk per hour must be fed to the process for a total fudge production of 830lbm/h, NOT the mole percentages. I'm struggling to obtain lb/hr for sucrose. The conversion factor needed for problem: 1lbmol=453.59mol:

(30 points) In a candy company, separate continuous streams of sugar, butter, corn syrup, cocoa, vanilla extract, and milk enter a mixer-boiler and come out as fudge. The process uses 1.75 lbmol/hr of sugar (sucrose, C12H22011). Butter is fed to the process at the rate of 60 lbm/hr, corn syrup is fed at a rate of 3.5 gal/hr, and cocoa is fed at 17 lbm/hr. Finally vanilla extract is fed at a rate of 1 lbm of extract for every 30 lbm of sugar. How many gallons of milk per hour must be fed to the process for a total fudge production of 830 lbm/hr? Additional info: Assume that the density of corn syrup is 100 lbm/ft3 and density of milk is 62.4 lbm/ft?. 1 cubic feet = 7.48 gal. (Note: Ibm implies lb mass)
