Using a minimum of 3 complete sentences, describe a situation where you could use a
conveyor system to make a task easier. Identify the type of belt you would use and
why. - (correct Answer) - In stores we could use a conveyor system to move items
that are too high or low to see. We would use a cleated belt because it can lift
materials with them slipping. People would be able to move the belt manually to see
things on the high or low shelf.
