A company plans to build at least 152 igloos in a single week by employing skilled workers from the cities of Tomsk and Kyzyl. All Tomskians build the same number of igloos per week, and all Kyzylians build the same number of igloos per week. Let T represent the number of Tomskians and KK represent the number of Kyzylians the company needs to employ to meet its goal. 6T+5K≥152 According to the inequality, how many igloos does each Tomskian build per week, and how many igloos does each Kyzylian build per week?

Answer:

Each Tomskian build 6 igloos per week.

Each Kyzylian build 5 igloos per week.

Explanation:

Let T represent the number of Tomskians and K represent the number of Kyzylians the company needs to employ to meet its goal.

The inequality:
6T+5K\geq152 represents the situation that a company plans to build at least 152 igloos in a single week by employing T Tomskians and K Kyzylians.

We can see that 6T represents the number of igloos made by T Tomskians in one week and 5K represents the number of igloos made by K Kyzylians in one week .

Since all Tomskians and Kyzylians build the same number of igloos per week, therefore, each Tomskian build 6 igloos per week and each Kyzylian build 5 igloos per week.
