Answer:
10 minutes
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Reception taking time = 3 minutes
Car wash taking time = 5 minutes
Paying the cash register taking time = 4 minutes
Returning to car and leaving taking time = 2 minutes
So, the theoretical flow time in minutes is
= Reception taking time + maximum time of car wash and paying the cash register + returning to car and leaving taking time
= 3 minutes + 5 minutes + 2 minutes
= 10 minutes
