Question

C&A Cruise owns 10 ships and wants to serve 2000 passengers each week. Each cruise ship can carry 500 passengers on each voyage. What is the longest average travel time on a voyage that allows C&A Cruise to meet its goal of serving 2000 passengers per week if its ships always travel fully loaded?

Answer 1

Answer:

The longest average travel time on a voyage that allows C&A Cruise to meet its goal of serving 2000 passengers per week if its ships always travel fully loaded is 2.5 weeks.

Explanation:

here consider the inventory as passengers

inventory on voyage = 10*500 passengers

                                   = 5000 passenger s

passenger serving rate = flow rate

                                       = 2000 passenger per week

flow time = inventory on voyage/ passenger serving rate i.e flow rate

                = 5000 passenger/ 2000 passenger per week

               = 2.5 weeks

Therefore, The longest average travel time on a voyage that allows C&A Cruise to meet its goal of serving 2000 passengers per week if its ships always travel fully loaded is 2.5 weeks.
