So this is directed to anyone that has taken a operations class...not sure if there are many people out on NS with any insight on this but ill give it a try.

Its a problem that has to do with Little's Law

ADMV office serves 600 customers per 8-hour day. It takes a total of 45 minutes to be served. How long is the waiting line, on the average?

I know that R= 600 customers/8 hr day, 600 customers every 480minutes, or 1 customer every .8 minutes
and that T= 45 min

so to find I=RT so would I mutiply .8(45) to get 36 minutes??

then the whole process time would be 36+45= 81 minutes??

I thought this was going to be an OR question and got excited about the level of geekiness on the site. I am now disappointed. Good luck though!
