Final answer:
To balance the production line with five workers and maximize the number of burritos produced per hour, each worker can make 6 burritos. Therefore, the production line can produce 30 burritos per hour. There is no idle time left in this scenario as the production time exceeds the available time.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about balancing the production line to determine the maximum number of burritos that can be produced per hour using five workers and the amount of idle time left.
To balance the line, we need to allocate the tasks efficiently among the workers. Let's say each worker takes 10 minutes to make one burrito. In an hour, each worker can make 6 burritos (60 minutes divided by 10 minutes per burrito).
So, with five workers, the production line can produce 30 burritos per hour (6 burritos per worker x 5 workers).
Now, to determine the idle time, we need to subtract the actual production time from the total available time in an hour.
If each burrito takes 10 minutes to make, then the total production time for 30 burritos would be 300 minutes (10 minutes per burrito x 30 burritos). Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the idle time would be 60 - 300 = -240 minutes.
Therefore, there is no idle time left in this scenario as the production time exceeds the available time.
