Question

Heather wants to start a business. She has two products to sell, and knows it takes her a

different amount of time to make each. It takes her 1.5 hours to make each frame (f),
and 2.25 hours to make each canvas (c). She is planning to work for 40 hours on these
projects this week. Write the equation that represents this relationship.

Answer 1

Answer: 1.5f + 2.25c = 40

Explanation:

You'd need to multiply the variables of unknown value (how many she'd make in 40 hours) by the time it takes to make one. This would mean multiplying 1.5 by f and 2.25 by c. you'd add this as together they equal the 40 hours she'd be working for the week.
