Question

A clothing company plans to shear at least 700 sheep today all novices shear the same number of sheep per day and all experts shear the same number of sheep per day. Let N represent the number of novices and E represent the number of experts needed for the company to meet its goal 7N+12N is greater than it equal to 700 according to the inequality how many sheep does each Novis or expert share per day.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each Novis share 7 sheep and each Expert share 12 sheep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, N represent the number of novices and E represent the number of experts needed for the company to meet its goal,

∵ All novices share the same number of sheep per day and all experts share the same number of sheep per day.

Let the sheep per day by a Novice = x and sheep per day by an expert = y,

So, the total sheep = xN + yE

According to the question,

Total sheep ≥ 700

⇒ xN + yE  ≥ 700,

By here, we have given the inequality for the given scenario,

7N+12E ≥ 700

By comparing,

x = 7 and y = 12

Hence, Each Novis share 7 sheep and each Expert share 12 sheep.
