Question

A bicycle manufacturing company makes a particular type of bike. Each child bike requires 4 hours to build and 4 hours to test. Each adult bike requires 6 hours to build and 4 hours to test. With the number of workers, the company is able to have up to 120 hours of building time and 100 hours of testing time for a week. If c represents child bikes and a represents adult bikes, determine which system of inequality best explains whether the company can build 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes in the week. (2 points)

Answer 1

4 (20) + 6(6) = 120

4(20) + 4 (6) = 100

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

Build time (hours) = 4c + 6a = 120

Test time (hours) = 4c + 4 a = 100

Where c represents the number of child bikes and a represents adult bikes.

So, for 20 child bikes and 6 adult bikes:

4 (20) + 6(6) = 120

4(20) + 4 (6) = 100
