A company makes rugs in two sizes. A small size rug requires 2 hours for dyeing and 4 hours for knotting. A medium size rug requires 3 hours for dyeing and 6 hours for knotting. The company's dyeing unit cannot work for more than 40 hours in a week, and the knotting unit cannot work for more than 50 hours in week. Let S represent the number of small size rugs that the company can manufacture in a week and M represent the number of medium size rugs that the company can manufacture in a week. Which of the following statements best explains whether the company will be able to make 12 small size rugs and 5 medium size rugs in a week? A. The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 2S + 3M ≤ 40 and 4S + 6M ≤ 50. B. The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 2S + 4S ≤ 40 and 3M + 6M ≤ 50. C. The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 4S + 3M ≤ 40 and 2S + 6M ≤ 50. D. The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 2S + 3S ≤ 40 and 4M + 6M ≤ 50.

2S + 3M ≤ 40 plug in #'s for S and M 2(12)+3(5)=39 first one is good... 39 ≤ 40 4S + 6M ≤ 50 plug in #'s for S and M 4(12)+6(5)=78 incorrect... 78 ≤ 50 s is small m is medium

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this make sense?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):
