Question

The steel tubes come in 2.4m length which is cut into 5mm sections then flattened. it takes 4 secs to make a washer. if it’s starts cutting and flattening at 10:45 what time will it finish?

Answer 1

Calculating the time required to cut 2.4m steel tubes into 5mm sections and flatten them reveals the process will finish at 11:17 AM, given each washer takes 4 seconds to make and the process starts at 10:45 AM.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the time required to process a length of steel tubes come in 2.4m length into washers. Considering each tube is cut into 5mm sections and it takes 4 secs to make a washer, we can first determine the total number of washers that can be made from one tube.

To find this, we convert the length of the tube to millimeters:

• 2.4m = 2400mm

Then, divide the total length by the length of each section:

• 2400mm / 5mm = 480 washers

Now, since each washer takes 4 seconds to make:

• 480 washers x 4 secs/washer = 1920 seconds

Converting seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds:

• 1920 seconds = 32 minutes

Assuming the process of flattening at 10:45, we can add the 32 minutes to this start time:

• 10:45 AM + 32 minutes = 11:17 AM

Therefore, the process will finish at 11:17 AM.
