A rhode island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. the little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. when in production, the process produces wafers at the rate fo 87 per second. during this production process, the wafers must spend 13 minutes passing through a cooling tube. how many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production? ( in other words, don't count the time they are not in production).

Respuesta :

Answer:

The cooling tube hold 67860 wafers on average during production

Explanation:

Average Time Spent = 13 minutes

Rate = 87 wafers per second during production

So, during this period of 87 seconds,

The number of wafers the cooling tube can hold is given by

R * T

Where R = Rate = 87 wafers per Second

And

T= Average Time Spent = 13 minutes

So, R * T

Becomes

87 per second * 13 minutes ------- Convert minutes to second

= 87 wafers per second * 13 * 60 seconds

= 87 wafers per second * 780 seconds

= 67860 wafers

So. The number of wafers the cooling tube can hold during production is 67860 wafers

Answer:

67,860 WAFERS

Explanation:

The question is to determine the number of wafers the cooling tube holds on average when in production?

First, what is the rate of wafers that are produced per second during the production process = 87 wafers

Secondly, we determine the entire time it takes a  batch of wafers (in seconds) to completely pass through the cooling tube as follows

=Time to pass through x 60 seconds (to convert the minutes to seconds)

= 13 Minutes x 60 seconds = 780 Seconds

Finally, we determine the number of wafers the cooling tube can hold as follows:

The number of seconds it takes to pass through the cooling tube x the number of wafers produced per second

= 780 seconds x 87 wafers

= 67,860 Wafers.

The cooling tube therefore holds on average 67,860 WAFERS when it is in production.
