Given this set of daily service operations, and assuming a processing order of A$-$B$-$C$-$D$-$E:

$\backslash$table$[[$Service Operation,Number of Daily Reps$],[$A$,42],[$B$,32],[$C$,24],[$D$,38],[$E$,28]]$

a$.$ Determine the number of repetitions for each service if four cycles are used.

Hint: Include one more unit of A in Cycles $1$ & $2$ than in Cycles $3$ & $4.$ Include one more unit of D in Cycles $3$ & $4$ This will result in the same total number of units $($repetitions$)$ in each cycle.

$\backslash$table$[[$Cycle$,1,2,3,4],[$A$,,,,],[$B$,,,,],[$C$,,,,],[$D$,,,,],[E,,,,]]$

b$.$ Determine the number of repetitions for each service if two cycles are used.

$\backslash$table$[[$Cycle$,1,2],[$A$,,],[B,,],[$C$,,],[n,,]]$
