A chemical process involves adding various agents to a vat and then waiting for the agents to react to make a final compound. The vat holds up to 1000 gallons. Chemical agents are added to the vat at a rate of 4.5 gallons per minute. Once the agents have been added to the vat, the reaction takes 85 minutes no matter the actual number of gallons in the batch. After the batch is complete, the vat must be cleaned. Cleaning always takes 15 minutes. What is the setup time of this process

the total setup time of this process is 100 minutes

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Vat holds up to 1000 gallons;

Rate of chemical agents being added to the vat = 4.5 gpm

Reaction time = 85 minute

cleaning ( waiting time ) 15 minute

the setup time of this process = ?

To calculate the setup time for this process, we simply say;

the setup time = Reaction time + cleaning ( waiting time )

so we substitute in our values

the setup time = 85 mins + 15 mins

the setup time = 100 minutes

Therefore, the total setup time of this process is 100 minutes
