Help quickly! Three friends receive custom orders for board games that they have designed. Alex prints all of the paper materials using a high quality printer, does any necessary lamination and then submits all the work to Amirah who cuts out all the game components; finally, An makes the box and packages all the components and ships it out. They receive 4.9 orders every week. On average, it takes an order 2 and 3 weeks to move through Alex's and Amirah's backlog/work-in-progress, respectively. Assuming that the team is collectively dealing with 30 outstanding orders (that are in someone's backlog/work-in-progress) at any given time, find how long it takes an order to to be shipped starting form when Amirah completes work on it and submits it to An.
