Little’s Law gives L = λ · W (average number in system equals arrival rate times average flow time).

Relevant knowledge points:
- Mean time between breakdowns = 1/3 hour → arrival rate λ = 1/(1/3) = 3 machines per hour.
- Mean service time per worker = 1/5 hour → service rate per worker μ = 1/(1/5) = 5 machines per hour.
- For c servers, the average number in system is L = λ · W, where W is the average time a broken machine spends in the repair system (waiting + service). The problem instructs to use the same W values from the previous question.

Step-by-step reasoning and calculations (use Little’s Law directly with the W’s from the prior solution):
1) One repair worker:
   - Prior average flow time W1 = 0.5 hour (this comes from the M/M/1 queue calculation: W = Wq + 1/μ; here W = 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.5).
   - L1 = λ · W1 = 3 · 0.5 = 1.5.

2) Two repair workers:
   - Prior average flow time W2 = 0.226666... hour (value provided by the previous calculation for M/M/2).
   - L2 = λ · W2 = 3 · 0.226666... = 0.68 (3 × 0.2266667 = 0.68).

3) Three repair workers:
   - Prior average flow time W3 = 0.203333... hour (value from the M/M/3 calculation).
   - L3 = λ · W3 = 3 · 0.203333... = 0.61 (3 × 0.2033333 = 0.61).

Why the correct answer is correct:
- Applying Little’s Law with λ = 3 and the specified W values yields L = 1.5, 0.68, 0.61 for c = 1, 2, 3 respectively. These are the numbers produced by using the previously-determined average flow times.

Why other choices are incorrect:
- All other options change one or more of the L values (they correspond to different W values or different λ), so they do not match the Little’s Law product λ·W using the given W values.

Conclusion: The average down machines L for one, two, and three repair workers are 1.5, 0.68, and 0.61 respectively, matching the provided correct answer.
