Question

A school supply company produces wooden rulers and plastic rulers . It takes 30 minutes to cut,shape, and sand a wooden ruler . It takes 15 minutes to mold ,dry, and cut plastic ruler . A maximum of 480 minutes per day is set aside for these tasks . It takes 6 minutes to paint the lines and numbers of both types of rulers . A maximum of 180 minutes per day is set aside for this task . What is a system of inequalities that models this scenario ? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY . And how would these inequalities look graphed ?

Answer 1

Let's define the following notation:

Wood = w

Plastic = p

Then the can create the following equations with the conditions given:

30 w + 15 p <= 480

6w + 6p <= 180

w >=0

p>=0
