A soft drink manufacturer produces 3408 cans in an 8-hour day. Cans are packaged 24 to a case. How many cases are produced each week? each month? (Assume one week is 40 hours, and one month is four weeks.)
Accepted Solution
A:
we know that
Part a) How many cases are produced each week?
A soft drink manufacturer produces 3408 cans in ------------------> 8-hour day X cans-------------------------> 40 hour (week) X=40*3408/8---------> X=17040 cans/week
if 1 case ------------------> 24 cans X case----------------------> 17040 cans X=17040/24---------> X=710 cases
then answer Part a) is 710 cases for week
Part b) How many cases are produced each month?
A soft drink manufacturer produces 17040 cans in ------------------> 1 week X cans-------------------------> 4 week X=4*17040---------> X=68160 cans/ month
if 1 case ------------------> 24 cans X case----------------------> 68160 cans X=68160/24---------> X=2840 cases
