Step Rates

Line-capacity arithmetic starts with exact rates for each serial step.

highlighted = computed this step

Step 1 Rate

The first step can finish 30 units per hour.

first step=30\text{first step} = 30

Step 2 Rate

The second step can finish 20 units per hour.

second step=20\text{second step} = 20
