Question 273

Multiple Choice

Use Inequalities to Describe Limitations in a Situation
-A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B and is bound by the following constraints:
- Part A requires 1 hour of casting time and 10 hours of firing time.
- Part B requires 4 hours of casting time and 3 hours of firing time.
- The maximum number of hours per week available for casting and firing are 100 and 70 , respectively.
- The cost to the company is $0.75\$ 0.75 per part AA and $3.00\$ 3.00 per part BB . Total weekly costs cannot exceed $45.00\$ 45.00 .
Let x=\mathrm { x } = the number of part A produced in a week and y=\mathrm { y } = the number of part B produced in a week. Write a system of three inequalities that describes these constraints.


A)
x+4y10010x+3y700.75x+3y45\begin{array}{r}x+4 y \leq 100 \\10 x+3 y \leq 70 \\0.75 x+3 y \leq 45\end{array}

B) x+10y1004x+3y700.75x+3y45\begin{array}{r}x+10 y \leq 100 \\4 x+3 y \leq 70 \\0.75 x+3 y \leq 45\end{array}

C) x+10y1004x+3y700.75x+3y45\begin{array}{r}x+10 y \geq 100 \\4 x+3 y \geq 70 \\0.75 x+3 y \leq 45\end{array}

D)
