An assembly line must create one finished product every 3 minutes. The sum of the task times required to create a product is 700 seconds. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations for this assembly line

We need 4 workstations configurated in series as minimum to create theoretically a finished product every 3 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that assembly line is formed solely by workstations configurated in series. We must keep in mind that theoretical minimum number of workstations is equal to the sum of the task times required to create a product divided by the time taken by the assembly line to create one finished product. That is:

We need 4 workstations configurated in series as minimum to create theoretically a finished product every 3 minutes.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
