Question

A factory produces 130,000 televisions per quarter. A total of 9,000 production hours are used by the factory per quarter.

Compute the velocity in units per hour.

(Note: Round answer to two decimal places.)
a. 16.50 units per hour
b. 15.50 units per hour
c. 14.44 units per hour
d. 18.45 units per hour

Answer 1

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Factory produces = 130,000 televisions per quarter

Total production hours used by the factory per quarter = 9,000

Therefore,

Velocity of units per hour = (Number of units produced ÷ Time taken to produce those units. )

Velocity of units per hour = (130,000 units ÷ 9,000 hours )

Velocity of units per hour = 14.44 units per hour
