Operation Factor Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Operation Factor?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

OF = \frac{T}{T t}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

OF = \frac{6h}{10h}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

OF = \frac{21600s}{36000s}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

OF = \frac{21600}{36000}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

OF = 0.6
