The first day of basic training at the Air Force Academy is quite a sight, with 1500 cadets being processed in. This involves getting haircuts, uniforms, room assignments, and a mountain of paperwork. At the Uniform Fitting station, the worker takes the measurements on the cadet (which takes about 2 minutes), then retrieves shirts, pants and hats in his/her size (which takes about 2 minutes), waits for the cadet to try on the pants (which takes about 1 minute) and then marks the pants for hemming (which takes about 1 minute). The in-processing takes place from 8 AM to 5 PM with an hour off for lunch (8 hours). __________2a. How many cadets can a single worker fit for uniforms on that hectic day? __________2b. How many workers would be needed to fit 1601 cadets in one day, if everyone works at full capacity?
