Answer:
Total space needed is 3136 square feet.
Step-by-step 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 =
[tex]=8\times 160\\=1280\text{ square feet}[/tex]
Space required for 6 stockpiles =
[tex]=6\times 160\\=960\text{ square feet}[/tex]
Total space =
[tex]=1280 + 960\\=2240\text{ square feet}[/tex]
Open space required = 40%
[tex]=\dfrac{40}{100}\times 2240\\\\=896\text{ square feet}[/tex]
Total space required =
[tex]=2240 + 896\\=3136\text{ square feet}[/tex]
Thus, total space needed is 3136 square feet.
