Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:100Step-by-step explanation:There are two washers to do linen washing. Β We can fit only 5 sets of linens in one washer, and 45 mins are required to wash the linens. Therefore, within 45 mins we can wash (5Γ—2) =10 sets of lines. If the shift is of 8 hours i.e. ( 8Γ—60) =480 mins, then within this time the number of linen sets will be washed is (480/45)Γ—10 = 106.67 β‰ˆ100 (Answer) {Since the number of linen set to be washed will be multiple of 10}
