Answer:

The assembly line efficiency is 4.17% (to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Efficiency is a measure of productivity that is used to determine how well a target is achieved, by finding the ratio of the actual output to the expected output. In this example, the number of units is the output of the assembly line, and the assembly line efficiency is calculated as follows:

Assembly line efficiency = (actual output) /(required output) × 100

actual output = 25 minutes

if 5 minutes = 1 unit

∴ 25 minutes = 1/5 × 25 = 5 units

∴ actual output = 5 units

required output = 120 units

∴ efficiency = \frac{5}{120} *100

= 4.17%
