PLEASE SOLVE IT FAST

A manual assembly line is to be designed for a certain major appliance whose assembly work content time = 2.0 hours. The line will be designed for an annual production rate of 100,000 units. The plant will operate one 8-hr shift per day, 250 days/yr. A continuous conveyor system will be used and it will operate at a speed = 1.6 m/min. The line must be designed under the following assumptions: balance delay = 6%, uptime efficiency = 96%, repositioning time = 6 sec for each worker, and average manning level = 1.25, not counting utility workers. (a) How many workers will be required to operate the assembly line? If each station is 2.0 m long, (b) how long will the production line be, and (c) what is the elapsed time a work unit spends on the line?
