Question

strohrmann, a large-scale bakery in montreal, is laying out a new production process for their packaged bread, which they sell to several grocery chains. it takes 19 minutes to bake the bread. find how large (measured in the number of units that can be baked simultaneously) an oven is required so that the company is able to produce 3,700 units of bread per hour?

Answer 1

To produce 3,700 units of bread per hour, an oven needs to be able to bake at least 1164 units simultaneously.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how large an oven is required to produce 3,700 units of bread per hour, we need to calculate the number of units that can be baked simultaneously in 60 minutes.

Since it takes 19 minutes to bake one unit of bread, we can use the formula: Number of units baked simultaneously = Total units produced per hour / Time taken to bake one unit

Number of units baked simultaneously = 3700 / (60 / 19) = 1163.33 (approximately)

Therefore, the oven needs to be able to bake at least 1164 units of bread simultaneously.
