Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A hydraulic excavator can load a truck in 2 minutes, while the truck takes 30 minutes to complete its cycle. If you have 2 trucks, what would be the ideal number of excavators?

💡 Hint: Consider the ratio of times.

Question 2

You have a loader with a cycle time of 3 minutes and a load of 9 tons. If the gravimetric capacity of the truck is 18 tons, how many loads can it make in a 60-minute hour?

💡 Hint: Use division for time and multiplication for total weights.
