The Friendly Sausage Factory (FSF) can produce hot dogs at a rate of 5,500 per day. FSF supplies hot dogs to local restaurants a

t a steady rate of 260 per day. The cost to prepare the equipment for producing hot dogs is $66. Annual holding costs are 46 cents per hot dog. The factory operates 296 days a year. a. Find the optimal run size. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal run size b. Find the number of runs per year.

Answer:

a. 5218 hot dogs

b. 18 runs per year

c. 1 day per run

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let n represent the number of hotdogs in an optimal run. The number of runs needed in a year is ...

r = (260 hotdogs/day)·(365 days/year)/(n hotdogs/run) = 94900/n runs/year

The number of hotdogs in storage decreases from n at the end of a run to 0 just before a run. The decrease is linear, so the average number in storage is n/2.

We can go to the trouble to write the equation for total cost, then differentiate it to find the value of n at the minimum, or we can just jump to the solution. That solution is ...

holding cost = setup cost

(n/2)·0.46 = (94900/n)·66

n^2 = 94900·66·2/0.46 = 27,232,173.9

n ≈ 5218.446

The optimal number of hotdogs in a run is 5218.

___

(b) The number of runs needed per year is (from part (a)) ...

r = 94900/5218 ≈ 18.187

The number of runs per year is 18.

___

(c) The run lenght is 5218 hotdogs, and the run produces them at the rate of 5500 hotdogs/day, so the run length in days is ...

(5218 hotdogs)/(5500 hotdogs/day) = 0.9487 days

The run length is 1 day.

Find the area of the regular hexagon.
NeTakaya

Answer:

1) The area of the regular hexagon is approximately 11.256 unit²

2) The coordinates of the center is (2, 3)

3) The base length is approximately 2.08 units

4) The height of the hexagon is approximately 3.61 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The length, lₐ, of the apothem is given as follows;

l_a = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Therefore, for the apothem having coordinates, (2, 3), and (3, 1.5), we have;

l_a = \sqrt{\left (3-1.5  \right )^{2}+\left (2-3  \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{1.5^2 + (-1)^2} =\sqrt{3.25}

The length of half half of one side, S/2 = a × tan(30°) = √(3.25)/√3

The length of the base = 2 × √(3.25)/√3 ≈ 2.082 units

The perimeter, P = 6 × 2× √(3.25)/√3

The area, A = 1/2 × P × a = 1/2 × 6 × 2 × √(3.25)/√3 × √3.25 = (13·√3)/2

A = (13·√3)/2 unit²

The area of the regular hexagon, A =  (13·√3)/2 unit² ≈ 11.256 unit²

2) The coordinates of the center = (2, 3)

3) The base, 'b', length by Pythagorean theorem is given as follows;

b = √(a² + (S/2)²) = √((√(3.25))² + (√(3.25)/√3)²) = √(3.25 + 3.25/3) = √(13/3) = (√39)/3

The base length, b = (√39)/3 units ≈ 2.08 units

4) The height of the hexagon, h = 2 × The length of the apothem, lₐ

The length, lₐ, of the apothem is given as follows;

l_a = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Given the apothem coordinates, (2, 3), and (3, 1.5), we have;

l_a = \sqrt{\left (3-1.5  \right )^{2}+\left (2-3  \right )^{2}} = \sqrt{1.5^2 + (-1)^2} =\sqrt{3.25}

The height of the hexagon, h = 2 × √3.25 units ≈ 3.61 units.

8. Aaron and Zelly want to rent a tandem bike so that
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

80 = 18.50h + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount = \$80

Rent = \$18.50 per hour

Helmet = \$3.0

Individuals =2

Required

Derive an expression for the scenario

A tandem bike allows 2 individuals to ride on it at a time.

So, they will only pay for one rental fee because both can ride on it at the same time.

However, they need to get separate helmets.

For Helmets, they will spend:

\$3 * 2 =\$ 6

For Rental, they will spend

\$18.50 * h = \$18.50h for h hours.

Total = Rentals + Helmets

Total = 18.50h + 6

Recall that they have just $80 to spend

So, substitute 80 for total

80 = 18.50h + 6

Hence, option C answers the question.
