Work cell produces 120 digital light processors in a week. We want to find the time spent on each processor in minutes. So for this first we will find the total time spent on 120 processors in a week.

Number of productive hours in a day = 7.5

Working days per week = 6

So, number of productive hours per week = 6 x 7.5 = 45 hours

1 hour = 60 minute

So, number of productive minutes per week = 45 x 60 = 2700 minutes

120 processors are produced in time = 2700 minutes

1 processor is produced in time = 2700/120 minutes = 22.5 minutes

So, it takes 22.5 minutes to produce one digital light processor
