Answer 1

We know that

Part a) How many cases are produced each week?

A soft drink manufacturer produces
3408 cans in ------------------>  8-hour day
X cans-------------------------> 40 hour (week)
X=40*3408/8---------> X=17040 cans/week

if 1 case ------------------> 24 cans
X case----------------------> 17040 cans
X=17040/24---------> X=710 cases

then answer Part a) is 710 cases for week


Part b) How many cases are produced each month?

A soft drink manufacturer produces 
17040 cans in ------------------>  1 week
X cans-------------------------> 4 week
X=4*17040---------> X=68160 cans/ month

if 1 case ------------------> 24 cans
X case----------------------> 68160 cans
X=68160/24---------> X=2840 cases

then answer Part b) is 2840 cases for month
