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

Louis brings 79 pencils to school. After he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, he will give any leftove
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a. 4\ pencils

b. His teacher will receive more pencils (See explanation).

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The total number of pencils Louis brings to school is:

total\ pencils=79

Then, in order to calculate the number of pencils Louis’s teacher will receive after he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, you need to solve the division show in the picture attached.

Notice that the remainder obtained is: 4.

<em>This means that Louis’s teacher will receive 4 pencils.</em>

b. If Louis decides instead to take an equal share of the pencils along with his classmates, his teacher will receive more pencils; because the amount of pencils each classmate will receive will be less. This means that the number of pencils leftover will increase, leaving more pencils for his teacher.
