Nemecek Brothers make a single product on two separate production lines, A and B. Its labor force is equivalent to 1000 hours pe

r week, and it has $3000 outlay weekly on operating costs. It takes 1 hour and 4 hours to produce a single item on lines A and B, respectively. The cost of producing a single item is $5 on line A and $4 on line B. (a) Write the inequality that expresses the labor information. (b) Write the inequality that expresses the cost information.

Answer:

(a) The inequality for the number of items, x, produced by the labor, is given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 600

(b) The inequality for the cost, C is $1,000 ≤ C ≤ $3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time available for production = 1000 hours per week

The time it takes to produce an item on line A = 1 hour

The time it takes to produce an item on line B = 4 hour

Therefore, with both lines working simultaneously, the time it takes to produce 5 items = 4 hours

The number of items produced per the weekly labor = 1000/4 × 5 = 1,250 items

The minimum number of items that can be produced is when only line B is working which produces 1 item per 4 hours, with the weekly number of items = 1000/4 × 1 = 250 items

Therefore, the number of items, x, produced per week with the available labor is given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 1250

Which is revised to 250 ≤ x ≤ 600 as shown in the following answer

(b) The cost of producing a single item on line A = $5

The cost of producing a single item on line B = $4

The total available amount for operating cost = $3,000

Therefore, given that we can have either one item each from lines A and B with a total possible item

When the minimum number of possible items is produced by line B, we have;

Cost = 250 × 4 = $1,000

When the maximum number of items possible, 1,250, is produced, whereby we have 250 items produced from line B and 1,000 items produced from line A, the total cost becomes;

Total cost = 250 × 4 + 1000 × 5 = 6,000

Whereby available weekly outlay = $3000, the maximum that can be produced from line A alone is therefore;

$3,000/$5 = 600 items = The maximum number of items that can be produced

The inequality for the cost, C, becomes;

$1,000 ≤ C ≤ $3,000

The time to produce the maximum 600 items on line A alone is given as follows;

1 hour/item × 600 items = 600 hours

The inequality for the number of items, x, produced by the labor, is therefore, given as follows;

250 ≤ x ≤ 600

The smallest square number which can be divisible by 11 and 5​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

3025

Step-by-step explanation:

let's look at it in this concept.

For a number to be divisible by 11 and 5. it must be a multiple of the LCM of 11 and 5.

LCM of 11 and 5=55

therefore the number is 55x, where x is a positive integer.

it is a said that the number is a perfect square

therefore the square root of 55x must be an integer.

\sqrt{55x}  =  \sqrt{5 \times 11 \times x}

the smallest value of x to make 55x a perfect square is....

x = 11 \times 5 = 55

Therefore the number is.... .

55x = 55(55) = 3025

Write a number with two decimals places that is bigger than 4 1/5 but smaller then 4.25 (Could u explain so i can actually under
zubka84 [21]
<u>The possible answers are:
</u>
<u /><u /><u><em /></u>4.21
4.22
4.23
4.24

Explanation:
We want a number between 4 1/5 and 4.25.  We will convert 4 1/5 to a decimal first:

Divide 1 by 5:  1/5 = 0.2.

This makes 4 1/5 = 4 + 1/5 = 4 + 0.2 = 4.2.

We want a number between 4.2, which can be written as 4.20, and 4.25.  Any number between will do, so the possible answers would be 
4.21, 4.22, 4.23, or 4.24.<u />
