So if it takes 2 minutes per bag, and they want to make 900 samples and their is 6 of them making them. This is what i got.

2 Minutes per bag

900 Samples

6 People

Every 12 minutes - 6 bags are made

I took 900/12 and got 75

I then took 75/6

and i got 12.5

So i believe it would take them Roughly 12.5 hours to complete 900 samples. Sorry if my math is everywhere, I have different ways of doing things haha
