Group of answer choices:

Not enough information provided to determine the cycle time

A .7.5 cars / hour

B. 5 cars / hour

C. 10 cars / hour

D. 15 cars / hour

Answer 1

The cycle time per car over the past 2 days is approximately 0.133 (or 8 minutes) per car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cycle time per car is determined by dividing the total time by the total number of cars produced. In this case, the total time over the past 2 days is 20 hours (10 hours yesterday + 10 hours today) and the total number of cars produced is 150 (100 cars yesterday + 50 cars today). Dividing 20 hours by 150 cars, we get a cycle time of approximately 0.133 (or 8 minutes) per car.

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the provided group of answer choices.
