The Miami Central Hotel has 400 rooms. Every day, the housekeepers clean any room that was occupied the night before. If a guest is checking out of the hotel, the housekeepers give the room a thorough cleaning to get it ready for the next guest. This takes 30 minutes. If a guest is staying another night, the housekeeper only "refreshes" the room, which takes 15 minutes. Each day, each housekeeper reports for her 6.0-hour shift, then prepares her cart. She pushes the cart to her floor and begins work. She usually has to restock the cart once per day; then she pushes it back to the storeroom at the end of the day and delivers dirty laundry, etc. Here is a timetable: 1) Arrive at work and stock cart (0.10 hrs). 2) Push cart to floor . 3) Take morning break ( . 4) Stop for lunch (0.50 hrs). 5) Restock cart ( . 6) Take afternoon break ( . 7) Push cart back to laundry and store items ( .
