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?

hey can u guys answer my qustion plz

Answer 7

hmmmm \(\huge\color{purple}{chocolates}\)

Answer 8

A) The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W+1.8D < or equal to 42 and 1.5W+1.2D < or equal to 35
B) The company will be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W+1.5D< or equal to 42 and 1.2W+1.8D < or equal to 35.
C) The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the systems restrictions of 0.5W+1.2D < or equal to 42 and 1.5 W +1.8D < or equal to 35.
D) The company will not be able to make these numbers in a week because of the system restrictions of 0.5W+1.2W < or equal to 42 and 1.5D + 1.8D < or equal to 35

Answer 9

Those are the multiple choice so I guess we would start with how many hours it takes to blend and mould each batch

Answer 10

\(\large\cal\color{royalblue}{Summary:}\)

Chocolates:
White Chocolate: Dark chocolate:
Blending- 0.5 hours Blending- 1.2 hours
Moulding- 1.5 hours Moulding- 1.8 hours

Machines:
Blending machine: Moulding Machine:
Max.-42 hours per week Max.- 35 hours per week

Key:
W= white choc. batches per week
D= dark choc. batches per 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?

Answer 11

So lets start with white chocolates.... Each batch requires 0.5 hours for blending and 1.5 for moulding.... The companies blending machine and work for a maximum 42 hours and the moulding 35 hours a week.

Answer 12

but would that mean the white chocolate and dark chocolate would have to share the machine time?

Answer 13

That only pulls out what is important, and pushes out what it there distracting you. Sort of a simplified version. Does it help?

Answer 14

So divide 0.5 into 42 would be my best guess.

Answer 15

:D That breaks it down a lot! So next we need to set up an equation right?

Answer 16

Absolutely! Will you help me solve it too?
