Expert Solution

Solution for (a)

He has broilers in a house for 7 weeks and then the house is empty for 2 weeks and he has his operation in a cycle, starting one house at a time throughout the year that means if one house is running the other two are closed, therefore he starts a new group every 9 weeks, there are 52 weeks in a year therefore, the number of times he starts a new group of broilers in a year is:

$\frac{52}{9} = 5.77 \approx 6$ times a year
