The review process at a research journal consists of three steps. The article is first allotted to an Editor, who can choose to reject or send the article for further review. The Editor does an initial review, which takes about a week and about 25% of the articles submitted are rejected after the initial review. For articles sent for further review, the Editor spends another week to decide a reviewer for the article. A reviewer completes a thorough analysis of the article, provides her recommendations and suggested revisions in a review report, and sends it to the Editor. This takes about 3 weeks. Based on the reviewer's comments, the Editor either accepts or rejects the article based on its merits. This process takes another two weeks. What is the maximum number of articles that can be processed per month? (Assume a month is 4 weeks.)

 
2. MuskeX Inc. launches micro-satellites for private companies. Before accepting a microsatellite for launch, they vet the satellite for weight, fit, and launchability. The vetting process takes an average of 0.4 weeks. Once the vetting process is complete, the client is notified if the satellite will be a part of the next launch. If the demand for satellite launches is 4 per week, and there are 2 teams for the vetting process, on average how long after submitting an application does a client know if it has been accepted/rejected?

What is the average number of applications either being vetted or waiting to be vetted?
