The question cut of. Heres the question


A chocolate-making company makes two types of chocolates. Each batch of white chocolate requires 0.5 hours for blending and 1.5 hours for moulding. Each batch of dark chocolate requires 1.2 hours for blending and 1.8 hours for moulding. The company's blending machine can work for maximum 42 hours in a week, and the moulding machine can work for maximum 35 hours in a week. Let W represent the number of batches of white chocolate that the company can manufacture in a week and D represent the number of batches of dark chocolate that the company can manufacture in a week. Which of the following statements best explains whether the company will be able to make 50 batches of white chocolate and 20 batches of dark chocolate in a week?

The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W + 1.8D ≤ 42 and 1.5W + 1.2D ≤ 35.

The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W + 1.5D ≤ 42 and 1.2W + 1.8D ≤ 35.

The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W + 1.2D ≤ 42 and 1.5W + 1.8D ≤ 35.

The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W + 1.2W ≤ 42 and 1.5D + 1.8D ≤ 35.

Damn thats long ill take a look

Answer 7

@BoyWhoWantsAnA If you show your work and try to be clear about where you think you are stuck, you will find the response time much better. Dumping questions and then tagging the world is nover a good way to go.

Answer 8

Well you would think that after hours of trying with different problems like that over the course of several days that people would actually respond faster. Its not true. So why do it? Exactly.

Answer 9

Sorry to be rude. Im just having a rough day with this site ^

Answer 10

I think you missed my point. Show your work. It's a requirement of participation in OpenStudy. Please read the Code of Conduct and heed its wisdom.

Answer 11

We run with volunteers. Their time is valuable. A very, very long, wordy question takes a lot of time. You can cut down that requirement by showing your work,

Answer 12

So why are you saying this to me? When everybody on Open Study is just posting there question but yet you choose my post to say that on. And I will work with whoever decides to help me and I do infact understand how this works. I will participate, like the Code of conduct says. The CoC never tells me where I HAVE to participate.

Answer 13

Now, if you arent going to help me. Please leave. :) I dont want to waste the valuable time that you are deciding to spend on here.

Answer 14

That's the thing with making demands like that, you need to respect the volunteers and take them when they can participate. If you wish to control the engagement and insist on a certain outcome, you should look into local, paid options for help.

White chocolate requires 0.5 hours for blending and 1.5 hours for moulding.
Dark chocolate requires 1.2 hours for blending and 1.8 hours for moulding.
Blending machine can work for maximum 42 hours in a week
Moulding machine can work for maximum 35 hours in a week.

Okay,

0.5W + 1.2D <= 42
1.5W + 1.8D <= 35

Sometimes it helps just to line things up.

Where does that leave us?

Answer 15

I have somebody who answered on a different site already. about 23 minutes faster than anybody could on here. Thanks though.

Answer 16

And there we have it. The official declaration that your time is more valuable than the time of the volunteers on all sites. Please rethink your expectations.

Answer 17

It is. The volunteers are here for me. And when the math chat that I asked for help in is doing RP, and cussing ETC, I knew that this was a waste of time.
