Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The oven's utilization is calculated by dividing the total time it was actively used (cycling) by the total time it was turned on. Each cycle takes 6 minutes, and there were 44 cycles, so the oven was actively used for 264 minutes (44 cycles * 6 minutes per cycle). The oven was turned on for 6 hours, which is 360 minutes (6 hours * 60 minutes per hour). Therefore, the utilization is (264 / 360) * 100 = 73.33%.
