    2 containers should be used

    As the system improves, neither more or fewer containers be required

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to the given data we have the following:

    D=83 pieces per hour.

    T=80 minutes=1.33 hour

    X=0.18

    C=53

    In order to calculate how many containers should be used we would have to use the following formula:

    Number of containers=DT (1+X)

    C

    Number of containers = (83) (1.33) (1+0.18)

    53

    Number of containers=2.45=2

    2 containers should be used.

    As the system improves, neither more or fewer containers be required
