Ah, I got it! The Cycle Time is the time it takes to produce one unit, which is the inverse of the Throughput. So, if the Throughput is 360 units per hour, the Cycle Time must be 1 / 360, which is 0.00278 minutes. Option A is way off, I'm going with option B.

I'm not sure, but I think the Cycle Time is 0.333 minutes. Can someone explain the calculation to me?

Wait, wait, wait. If the Throughput is 360 units per hour, that means it takes 60 minutes to produce 360 units, right? So, the Cycle Time must be 60 minutes divided by 360 units, which is 0.167 minutes. Option A is definitely the correct answer here.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Wouldn't the Cycle Time be the inverse of the Throughput? That would make it 1 / 360, which is 0.00278 minutes. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think option A is too high.

Okay, let's think this through. If the Throughput is 360 units per hour, that means it takes 1 hour to produce 360 units. So, the Cycle Time must be 1 hour divided by 360 units, which is 0.167 minutes. I'm pretty sure option A is the correct answer here.

I agree with Johana, because if the Throughput is 360 units per hour, then the Cycle Time should be 1 hour divided by 360, which is 0.167 minutes.
