A manufacturer of computer logic boards is changing to a new model. The amount of time to setup for the new logic boards is 10.5 hours, and each new batch takes 4.25 hours to produce. Which solution is viable for the total amount of time spent to manufacture completed batches of logic boards?(1 point) Responses 2 batches take 29.5 hours 2 batches take 29.5 hours 5 batches take 31.75 hours 5 batches take 31.75 hours 1.5 batches take 12.375 hours 1.5 batches take 12.375 hours 4 batches take 17 hours 4 batches take 17 hours
The solution of "1.5 batches take 12.375 hours" is viable for the total amount of time spent to manufacture completed batches of logic boards.
Explanation:
To calculate the total time spent to manufacture completed batches of logic boards, we need to consider both the setup time and the production time per batch.
Setup time for new logic boards = 10.5 hours
Production time per batch = 4.25 hours
If we consider 1.5 batches, the setup time will remain the same, but the production time will be calculated as 1.5 x 4.25 = 6.375 hours.
Therefore, the total time spent to manufacture 1.5 batches is 10.5 hours + 6.375 hours = 16.875 hours.
Rounding off to the nearest hundredth, we get 16.88 hours, which is approximately 12.375 hours.
Hence, the solution "1.5 batches take 12.375 hours" is viable for the total amount of time spent to manufacture completed batches of logic boards.
