Answer:
1.96 planes
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the number of planes is shown below:
As we know that
System Inventory is
= Flow rate in the system × Throughput time
where,
Flow rate is
= Frequency of taken off
= 16 planes ÷ hour
= 16 ÷ 60 Planes per minute
Throughput time is
= runway waiting time + runway Run time
= 33 seconds + 6 minutes × 60 seconds + 48 seconds
= 441 seconds
= 441 per 60 seconds
Therefore the number of planes is
= 1.96 planes
