Question

An auto service center that specializes in oil changes has two service bays that serve, on average, a total of 24 cars per eight-hour business day. On average, each bay can finish one oil change in 30 minutes.
What is the design capacity? 30 min per oil change per bay (8 hr day x 2 (30 min each) =16 x 2 bays =?)

Answer 1

Answer:

$32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of service bays $= 2$

Time taken by each bay to finish one oil change $= 30 minutes$

Working capacity $= 8$ hours per day

Thus, in $8$ hours the total number of times one bay has changed the oil is equal to

$\frac{8 * 2 * 30}{30} \\= 16$

If one service bay's capacity is equal to $16$, capacity of two service bays is equal to

$16 * 2 \\= 32$

Thus, the design capacity is $32$
