Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new concrete mixer has a total cycle time of 6 minutes, including loading time of 2 minutes, mixing time of 3 minutes, and discharging time of 1 minute. If the mixer increases efficiency to reduce loading time by 30 seconds and mixing time by 1 minute, what will be the new cycle time?

💡 Hint: Adjust the existing times and sum them up.

Question 2

If a construction project has a required output of 100 cubic meters of concrete per hour, how many cycles would the mixer with a cycle time of 5.5 minutes need to complete to meet this requirement?

💡 Hint: Convert hourly requirements into cycles based on batch size.
