Answer:

The capacity of the machine is 3 parts per minunte

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the total time

Total time = Setup time + Production time

Total time = 34 minutes + 70 minutes

Total time = 104 minutes

Calculate the total units

Total Units = Production per minute x Total Time

Total Units = 3 parts per minutes x 104 minutes

Total Units = 312 parts

Now calculate the parts per minute

Parts per minute = Total Units / Total Time

Parts per minute = 312 parts / 104 minutes

Parts per minute = 3 parts per minunte
