Question

Kevin Wildhorse, Bramble & Wildhorse Fabricators' production manager, has just completed the company's production budget for the first quarter. Each brick requires 12 minutes to produce, and Kevin expects to produce 100,000 bricks in the first quarter. How many minutes will be spent producing bricks in the first quarter?

Answer 1

To calculate the total time spent producing bricks in the first quarter, multiply the number of bricks by the time per brick.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many minutes will be spent producing bricks in the first quarter, we need to multiply the production volume (number of bricks) by the time to produce each brick.

Given that each brick requires 12 minutes to produce and Kevin expects to produce 100,000 bricks in the first quarter, we can calculate the total time as follows:

Therefore, 1,200,000 minutes will be spent producing bricks in the first quarter.
