Question

A manufacturing company currently uses 15 workers to load and unload trucks. Each worker can move an average of 15 boxes per minute. A robotics firm has built a robot that can load and unload boxes at the rate of 21 boxes per minute. How many robots will it take to do the same job as the 15 humans?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 11 robots to do the same job as the 15 humans

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Workers in use = 15

Each worker can move an average of 15 boxes per minute.

A robot has been built that can move an average of 21 boxes per minute

15 worker would move:

15 * 15 boxes = 225 boxes per minute.

The number of robots it will take to move 225 boxes is:

225/21 = 10.7

It will take 11 robots to do the same job as the 15 humans
