Precision testing does fluid testing for several local hospitals. consider their urine testing process. each sample requires 12 seconds to test, but after 300 samples, the equipment must be recalibrated. no samples can be tested during the recalibration process and that process takes 30 minutes. what is the maximum capacity (samples/hour) of the process to test urine samples?

To determine the number of samples that can be tested in a span of one hour, we take our basis as 300 samples. 

First, we determine the number of seconds that is needed in order to test the 300 samples.

     T = (12 seconds/ sample)(300 samples) = 3600 seconds

Converting this to minutes, we divide the value by 60.
   T (in minutes) = 3600 seconds/(60 seconds/minute) = 60 minutes

Then, we add 30 minutes to the calculated value to allot time for the recalibration such that the total time becomes 90 minutes which is equal to 1.5 hours. 

Dividing the number of samples by the total time, we will have a final answer of,
     Maximum Capacity = (300 samples) / (1.5 hours) = 200 samples/hour

ANSWER: 200 samples/hour
