Question

If the factory has available 270 tires, 90 frames, and 170 pedals, which item would limit the amount of complete tricycles that can be assembled?

Answer 1

Answer:The pedals would limit the amount of completed tricycles.

Explanation:

The frames are the easiest part, you only need one frame per bike so you can make 90 tricycles with the frames.

For the tires you divide 270 by 3 and you get 90 so you can make 90 tricycles with the tires.

For the pedals you divide 170 by 2 and you get 85 so you can only make 85 tricycles with the pedals.

Answer 2

The pedals

Explanation:

A tricycle requires 3 tires, 1 frame, and 2 pedals.

Divide all the amounts by the amounts needed for one tricycle.

270/3=90

90/1=90

170/2=85

The pedals can only be assembled onto 85 tricycles while everything else can be assembles into 90 tricycles.
