Question

A machine factory produces 2 parts per second. One shift is 10 hours long. What is the production rate, in parts per shift?

Answer 1

If you still need help..... sorry i'm a little late. Well since we have 2 parts per second that be 120 per minute, then if we times 120 by an hour (60) we get 7,2000. Then we take the 7,2000 per hour and times that times 10 hours (for the ten hour shift that is). Therefore we are lest with 72,000 parts per ten hour shift. the answer is 72,000. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

72,000 parts per shift

Explanation:

We need to figure out how many seconds are there in 10 hours and then multiply it by 2 since 2 parts are produced per second.

Number of seconds in 10 hours:

We know 60 seconds = 1 minute AND 60 minutes = 1 hour, so there are:

`60*60=3600` seconds in a hour

So, in 10 hours we have:

`3600*10=36,000` seconds

Multiplying this by 2, since 2 parts per second is the rate, we get:

`36,000*2=72,000` parts are produced

So, in 1 shift of 10 hours, 72,000 parts are produced.
