***WILL BECOME FAN AND GIVE MEDAL*** Your boss hands you the monthly data that show the number of orders coming in to and out of the warehouse. The data are in the table below. Explain to your boss, in complete sentences, the solution to this system and what the solution represents. Month: # of orders in: # of orders out: January (1) 3 3 February (2) 6 4 March (3) 9 5 April (4) 12 6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here columns 2 and 3 represent the system. what do you think happens when incoming orders equal the outgoing orders ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When they equal they will increase

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Think a bit, suppose you're eating 10 candies every hour. And somebody is throwing 10 number of candies each hour into your room. How many candies will remain uneaten in the room ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 x 10 which equals 100

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Nope. There wont be any candies left in the room because you're eating all the candies

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

similarly when the incoming orders equal the outgoing orders, the warehouse would be EMPTY.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if that makes any sense..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need to find what the solution is and what it represents.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look at the table, in which month do we have incoming orders = outgoing orders ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 I need help with this problem too. May I continue where you left off?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The month you have incoming orders = outgoing orders is January

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is next?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, so the solution to the system is (1, 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does the 1 and 3 represent? I am confused

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 = january 3 = incoming orders = outgoing orders

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is actually the problem I am working on so can we work with this one please Your boss hands you the monthly data that show the number of orders coming in to and out of the warehouse. The data are in the table below. Explain to your boss, in complete sentences, the solution to this system and what the solution represents. Month No. of orders in No. of orders out January (1) 2 3 February (2) 4 4 March (3) 6 5 April (4) 8 6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so on ur problem, in which month the incoming orders equal outgoing orders ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

February so (2,4) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the solution represents the month in which the warehouse is empty; because the warehouse will be empty when the incoming orders equal the outgoing orders

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the solution is 2, 4 and it represents what you said? Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yep, rephrase it into your own and use as many sentences as you can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay Thank you @ganeshie8 I will be sure to fan you.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
