Question

The Shredder, Inc. produces two types of paper shredders, home and office. The office model requires 6 hours to assembly and 2 finishing work units for finishing work, the home model requires 4 hours to assemble and 12 finishing work units for finishing. The maximum number of assembly hours available is 96 per day, and the maximum number of finishing hours available is 96 per day.

Let
x = the number of office model shredders produced per day and
y = the number of home model shredders produced per day.

Write the system of inequalities that represents the maximum number of shredders that can be produced in one day.

NOTE: 4 inequalities are expected.

Answer 1

4y + 6x ≤ 96

12y + 2x ≤ 96

Explanation:

Paper shredders produced :

Home :

Assembling time = 4 hours

Finishing work unit = 12

Office :

Assembling time = 6 hours

Finishing work unit = 2

Maximum number of assembly hours = 96 / day

Maximum number of finishing hours = 96/ day

Let

x = the number of office model shredders produced per day and

y = the number of home model shredders produced per day

(office Assembly hours x Number of office model) + (Assembly hours * number home models)

OFFICE MODEL:

Assembly operation :

Home + office ≤ 96

4y + 6x ≤ 96

Finishing operation :

Home + office ≤ 96

12y + 2x ≤ 96
