Question

Jack and Rodger both produce Sandwiches and Pies, and they both have 300 minutes of time available. It takes Jack 1 minutes to make a Sandwich, and 7 minutes to make a Pie. It takes Rodger 7 minutes to make a Sandwich and 1 minutes to make a Pie. What is the largest number of Sandwiches that Jack would be willing to trade away to get 4 Pies from Rodger

Answer 1

28 sandwiches

Explanation:

If Jack takes 7 minutes to make a pie, the time that would take Jack to produce 4 pies is:

`t=4*7=28\ minutes`

Jack would be willing to trade away the amount of sandwiches he is able to produce in 28 minutes to get 4 pies from Rodger. In 28 minutes, the number of sandwiches Jack can produce is:

`S=1*28=28\ sandwiches`

Jack would be willing to trade away 28 sandwiches for 4 pies.
