A sawmill runs for three 4-hour shifts per day. It produces 500 2x4's per hour, which are divided into 50 piece bundles automatcally. If a forklift operator is able to load 10 bundles of 2x4's per hour, how many hours will it take the operator to load a full day of production?
it produces 500 per hour and those are divided into 50 piece bundles. so if we divide by 50 we will see how many bundles. 500/50 = 10.
it says that he does 10 bundles an hour and we found it makes 10 bundles per hour so it will take him the exact amount of hours that they run to load.the bundles.
it runs 3 shifts that are 4 hours. so to get the hours we can multiply 3 shifts by 4 hours 3 * 4 = 12 hours
if it did not.match we.could have kept going like this
so 10 bundles per hour for 12 hours is 10 * 12 = 120 bundles
he runs 10 bundles in an hour so we can divide the total by the amount per hour and gwr.how long it takes 120 / 10 = 12 hours
