Question

Calculate flow/minute: volume = 73,012, shift is 6 hours with a 7 min stand up, one 15 min break, and a 15 min stow down

a) 270
b) 280
c) 290
d) 300

Answer 1

The flow per minute can be calculated by subtracting the non-working minutes from the total minutes in the shift and then dividing the volume by the adjusted time. However, the final calculation does not match any of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the flow per minute, we need to determine the total working time in minutes and divide the total volume by this time. The shift duration is 6 hours, which is equivalent to 360 minutes. However, we need to subtract the time taken for a 7-minute stand up, a 15-minute break, and another 15-minute stow down. Therefore, the total non-working time is 7 + 15 + 15 = 37 minutes. The actual working time is then 360 - 37 = 323 minutes.

The volume given is 73,012. To find the flow rate, we use the formula:

Flow rate (Q) = Volume (V) / Time (t)

So, the flow per minute is Q = 73,012 / 323 ≈ 226.2. However, this answer is not listed in the options provided. The answer could be different based on the correct interpretation and calculation of the given numbers.
