An auto service center that specializes in oil changes has two service bays that serve, on average, a total of 24 cars per eight-hour business day. On average, each bay can finish one oil change in 30 minutes.

What is the design capacity? 30 min per oil change per bay (8 hr day x 2 (30 min each) =16 x 2 bays =?)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]32[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of service bays [tex]= 2[/tex]

Time taken by each bay to finish one oil change [tex]= 30 minutes[/tex]

Working capacity [tex]= 8[/tex] hours per day

Thus, in [tex]8[/tex] hours the total number of times one bay has changed the oil is equal to

[tex]\frac{8 * 2 * 30}{30} \\= 16[/tex]

If one service bay's capacity is equal to [tex]16[/tex], capacity of two service bays is equal to

[tex]16 * 2 \\= 32[/tex]

Thus, the design capacity is [tex]32[/tex]
