: A local company currently sorts three colours of plastic discs. The discs arrive in the same order each time: ie. 1 black, 1 silver and 2 white. The process is repeated continuously until stopped by the operator. Investigate whether the company will be able to fulfill the following orders for the month: Black- 12 500, Silver - 14 000, white-28 000. The company operates for 22 days in the month, from 8am to 5pm-with a break for lunch from 12:00 to 13:00 when all machines are switched off. Average time taken to setup the machines is negligible. Only fully completed parts should be counted. Resources required: Video of Sorting Process, Stopwatch or suitable timing mechanism, Writing material, Calculator 1. Describe the approach you will take in order to solve this problem.
