Question

A factory produces widgets and zurls. The combined number of widgets and zurls made each day cannot be more than 12. The maximum number of widgets the factory can produce in a day is 4.

a) W + Z ≤ 12
b) W - Z ≤ 12
c) W + Z ≥ 12
d) W - Z ≥ 12
e) Both a and c are correct.

Answer 1

The correct answer is e) Both a and c are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is e) Both a and c are correct.

The given statement, "The combined number of widgets and zurls made each day cannot be more than 12" can be represented as: W + Z ≤ 12 (Option a).

And the statement, "The maximum number of widgets the factory can produce in a day is 4" can be represented as: W ≤ 4.

Combining both statements, we have: W + Z ≤ 12 and W ≤ 4. This can be simplified as: W + Z ≥ 12 (Option c). Therefore, both option a and option c are correct.
