so, graph it then :)

as far as the B) part, well, they're saying the (A)MOUNT produced would be 250lbs, a fixed value, so for the formula that means

250 = 5.5t

solve by "t", and that'd be your amount of "t" [days]

I dont know how to graph it :(

$$
\begin{matrix}
 A & | & t \
\hline
 11 & | & 2 \
 22 & | & 4 \
 27.5& | & 5\
...& | & ...
\end{matrix}
$$
so, see the table, when "t" is, whatever, then A is 5.5(whatever)
