Question

Please don't provide handwritten solution .....  

One way of expressing the rate at which an enzyme can catalyze a reaction is to state its turnover number. The turnover number
is the maximum number of substrate molecules that can be acted on by one molecule of enzyme per unit of time. The table gives
the turnover number of four representative enzymes.
Enzyme
Ribonuclease
Fumarase
100
800
1000
10,000
How many molecules of RNA can one molecule of ribonuclease act on in 14.9 min?
Lactate dehydrogenase
Urease
Substrate Turnover number (per second)
RNA
fumarate
lactate
RNA molecules:
urea
