You have two types of materials: A (light and easy to dump) and B (heavy and sticky). If A takes 5 minutes to unload and B takes twice that time, calculate the time taken to dump 10 loads of each.
💡 Hint: Break it down by material type and remember the time per load.
During a project, trucks are often idling due to congestion caused by three bulldozers at a dumping site. If the idle time per truck is 10 minutes, calculate the impact on overall productivity if 4 trucks are involved over an hour.
💡 Hint: Multiply the number of trucks by idle time to find total impact on productivity.
