Step-by-step explanation: This is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Total space needed is 3136 square feet.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Space required for eight manufacturing processes and six stockpiles.

Each takes 160 square feet.

Space required for 8 process =

`=8* 160\\=1280\text{ square feet}`

Space required for 6 stockpiles =

`=6* 160\\=960\text{ square feet}`

Total space =

`=1280 + 960\\=2240\text{ square feet}`

Open space required = 40%

`=(40)/(100)* 2240\\\\=896\text{ square feet}`

Total space required =

`=2240 + 896\\=3136\text{ square feet}`

Thus, total space needed is 3136 square feet.
