In a truck and shovel operation, the time for a truck to position itself at the shovel and be loaded are 0.50 minute and 3 minutes respectively. It then takes the truck 10 minutes to haul the ore, dump it at the coarse ore bin, and return to the shovel. How many trucks do you need to keep the shovel busy with a little waiting time for the trucks?
