Talk time = 0.88 minutes.

Explanation:

The talk time is the time that is used by employees talking on one phone call. This is calculated by getting the time spent on calls in a day. The call time is now divided by the daily demand of calls.

In the given instance there is only one shift of 370 minutes.

Break given is 3*11 = 33 minutes

Lunch break is 35 minutes.

So remaining time = 370-33-35 = 302 minutes.

Talk time = Time per shift/Daily demand

Talk time = 302/342

Talk time = 0.883 minutes.
