Students are going through a three-step process to obtain their ID cards. Each student will spend 2 minutes at the registration

kondaur [170]

Answer:

C. 160 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation to be made will be to process 20 students

We have, according to the exercise, the following data:

For process 1: Registration table, Number of servers = 1, Time spent = 2 minutes

For process 2: cashier, number of servers = 3, time spent = 10 minutes

For process 3: ID processing station, number of servers = 4, time spent = 20 minutes

Demand rate = 0.125

To solve it, we will look for the capacity that the server has of the previously mentioned processes, calculating the following:

Capacity = Number of students served per minute

We can say that at the registration table we observe:

Time needed to serve 1 student = 2 minutes

Capacity = 0.5 students per minute

With the cashier we analyze the following:

Time needed to serve 1 student = 10 minutes

Number of servers = 3

Capacity = 0.3 students per minute

ID processing station

Time needed to serve 1 student = 20 minutes

Number of servers = 4

Capacity = 0.2 students per minute

When comparing the processes, it is definitely found that the bottleneck is the ID processing station, where it takes more time to serve a student, which leads us to infer that the capacity of the process is comparable to the capacity of the process bottleneck

Process capacity = 0.2 students per minute

Given, demand rate = 0.125 students per minute

We observe that the demand rate is less than the capacity of the process, therefore we can infer that the number of students served during each minute is the same as the demand rate.

In this way we find that:

Number of students served per minute = 0.125

Time needed to serve 1 student = 1 / 0.125 = 8 minutes

Time needed to serve 20 students = 8 x 20 = 160 minutes.

We conclude that the answer is that it will take 160 minutes to serve 20 students.

Find a linear equation to model this real-world application:

SSSSS [86.1K]

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Solution:

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

$y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650$

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Stanley has a collection of seashells. He found 35% of his collection on Florida beaches. If Stanley has 49 seashells from Flori

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Stanley has a collection of seashells. He found 35% of his collection on Florida beaches.

Stanley has 49 seashells from Florida.

Now, to find the number of seashells of his collection altogether.

Let the number of seashells all together be $x.$

Percentage of seashells found on Florida beaches = 35%.

Number of seashells found on Florida beaches = 49.

Now, to get the number of seashells altogether we put an equation:

$35\%\ of\ x=49.$

⇒ $\frac{35}{100} \times x=49$

⇒ $0.35\times x=49$

⇒ $0.35x=49$

Dividing both sides by 0.35 we get:

⇒ $x=140.$

Therefore, the number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.

Hikers came across a part of a redwood stump. If the length of the chord is 8 feet, what was the diameter of the tree?

erastova [34]

So in the problem, the length of the chord there is the circumference of the tree. So in order to get the diameter of the tree, we must use the formula in getting the circumference of a circle that is stated as follows.

C = 2pi *Radius

so first we need the get the radius of the tree which represent by this formula:

Radius = C /2pi = 8/6.2832 = 1.2732 ft
Diameter = 2*radius = 2 * 1.27 32 = 2.5465 feet

In summary, the diameter of the tree is 2.565 feet.
