In
your metal fabrication shop you and your helper are given an order for
12
AV-Carts that need to be completed by the end of your 8-hour shift,
which
includes a one-hour work-free lunch break. Each
cart must first have the frame built and then 4
shelves welded onto
the frame. If it takes 45 minutes
to weld the frame and 8 minutes to weld each of the four shelves to the
frame,
how many complete carts can be made in 8 hours? Will
you be able to fill the order at
the end of the 8-hour shift? Note: The first
cart frame must
be built before the shelves can be welded to the frame.
The second frame can be built while the
shelves of the first cart are attached. Don't
forget that there is a one-hour break for lunch
where all work
stops. Good Luck!!!!!
