Question

Your theoretical capacity is that you can produce 200 bottles per minute. During a 10-hour shift, you shut down for 30 minutes. What is your rated capacity?

a) 2000 bottles
b) 1800 bottles
c) 1980 bottles
d) Not mentioned

Answer 1

d) Not mentioned.

The rated capacity of the machine, based on a 10-hour shift with a 30-minute shutdown and the ability to produce 200 bottles per minute, is 114,000 bottles. However, this option is not listed in the multiple-choice answers provided, therefore the correct choice is 'Not mentioned'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what is the rated capacity of production when a machine with a theoretical capacity of producing 200 bottles per minute shuts down for 30 minutes during a 10-hour shift.

To calculate the rated capacity:

• Start with the total minutes in a 10-hour shift: 10 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 600 minutes.
• Subtract the shutdown period: 600 minutes - 30 minutes = 570 minutes of operating time.
• Multiply the operating time by the production rate: 570 minutes x 200 bottles/minute = 114,000 bottles.

However, since none of the options provided (2000, 1800, 1980) matches this calculation, the correct answer would be d) Not mentioned.
