Answer:

4 Minutes = 240 seconds = 6*40 seconds

The equation that represents the canned goods order is 24x + 64y = 384, where x = number of minutes producing fruit cans and y =
Basile [38]

Answer:

16 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept will be at (16,0) and the y-intercept at (0, 6).

We have to solve for y by substituting 0 as the value of x. This will be:

24x + 64y = 384

24(0) + 64y = 384

64y = 384

y = 384/64

y = 6

We have to solve for x by substituting 0 as the value of y. This will be:

24x + 64y = 384

24x + 64(0) = 384

24x = 384

x = 384/24

x = 16
