That doesn't make much sense you may want to copy the problem in full from the source or take a picture of it.

tgxcyan · Answer

They told me to find minute in producing 1 parts. This was how the teacher said. No writing :(

tgxcyan · Answer

I did 8 hours x 21 days = 168 hours. 

266/2.5 ?

tgxcyan · Answer

266.5/2.5 = 106.4

triciaal · Answer

So was it x/266?  this is a bit confusing

tgxcyan · Answer

this is what teacher wrote on the board : 266 parts shipset, 2.5 shipset/month

Find every "x" minutes I'm suppose to produce 1 part.

You work 8 hours a day for 21 working days.

tgxcyan · Answer

it seems like I'm suppose to find # of minutes per 1 part.

evoker · Answer

Ok I think I got it now, you need to find the total parts divided by the total minutes.

evoker · Answer

Yeah sounds good

evoker · Answer

so 266 parts per shipment times 2.5 shipments is how many parts.

tgxcyan · Answer

665

evoker · Answer

yep and you worked for 21 days for 8 hours a day, so how many hours?

tgxcyan · Answer

168 hours

evoker · Answer

ok now there is 60 minutes in an hour so how many minutes are there in 168 hours

tgxcyan · Answer

10,080 minutes?

evoker · Answer

Yeah, so if you want minutes per part  10,080/665   if you want parts per minute the flip  665/10080
