Question

You are planning a new production floor. You will need space for eight manufacturing processes and six stockpiles. Each takes 160 square feet. You want space for those items and 40% open space. How much total space do you need

Answer 1

Answer:

Total space needed is 3136 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Space required for eight manufacturing processes and six stockpiles.

Each takes 160 square feet.

Space required for 8 process =

$=8\times 160\\=1280\text{ square feet}$

Space required for 6 stockpiles =

$=6\times 160\\=960\text{ square feet}$

Total space =

$=1280 + 960\\=2240\text{ square feet}$

Open space required = 40%

$=\dfrac{40}{100}\times 2240\\\\=896\text{ square feet}$

Total space required =

$=2240 + 896\\=3136\text{ square feet}$

Thus, total space needed is 3136 square feet.
