Answer:
a. 21 327 hot dogs/run
b. 70 runs/yr
c. 4 da/run
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
Production rate (p) = 5000/da
Usage rate (u) = 260/da
Setup cost (S) = $66
Annual carrying cost (H) = $0.45/hot dog
Production days (d) = 294 da
Calculations:
a. Optimal run size
(i) Annual demand (D) = pd = (5000 hot dogs/1 day) × (294 days/1 yr)
= 1 470 000 hot dogs/yr
(ii) Economic run size



= 21 327 hot dogs/run
b. Number of runs per year
Runs = D/Q₀ = (1 470 000 hot dogs/1yr) × (1 run/21 327 hotdogs)
= 70 runs/yr
c. Length of a run
Length = Q₀/p = (21 327 hot dogs/1 run) × (1 da/5000 hot dogs)
= 4 da/run
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
To solve this, you are trying to convert one side to a quadratic equation and the other to just 0. Then, solve the equation.
----
First, move the /2 to the other side of the equation.
(a+1)/2 = 1/a
a+1 = 2/a
Next, multiply both sides by a.
a+1 = 2/a

And then subtract both sides by 2. This will get you to a quadratic equation.


Now, factor the equation. When we're factoring, we are looking for the form (a + b)(a + c), where b + c must equal 1 (the coefficient of a) and b*c must equal -2. In this case, b = 2, and c = -1.
Therefore:

(a + 2)(a - 1) = 0
To get the answer, recall that anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0. Therefore, to get the left side to equal 0, either (a + 2) or (a - 1) must equal 0. To do this, a must either be -2 or 1.
Therefore, a = -2, or a = 1.
----
Check your work:
(-2 + 1)/2 = 1/-2
-1/2 = -1/2
(1 + 1)/2 = 1/1
2/2 = 1/1
1 = 1

Hope this helps!
Answer:
There are 8 boys in the chorus and 16 girls in the chorus
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the number of boys
y----> the number of girls
we know that
-----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The solution is the point (8,16)
see the attached figure
therefore
