Question

A distribution center makes deliveries to food stores on a weekly basis. On the average, 50 stores are served daily. A typical store places an order for 10,000 lb of various products. 4 store orders can be placed on a delivery truck. Trucks are loaded in 5 hours. The distribution center operates an 8 hour shift. How many truck doors are needed?

Answer 1

3 doors needed

Explanation:

The computation of the no of trucks doors that are needed is shown below:

= serve daily ÷ no of store orders ÷ no of store orders

= 50 ÷ 4 ÷ 4

= 3 doors needed

First we divided the serve daily from the no of store orders and then the value that comes so it would be divided by no of store orders again so that the no of truck doors could come
