Problema Solution

Maple rockers. Ozark Furniture Company can obtain at

most 3000 board feet of maple lumber for making its

classic and modern maple rocking chairs. A classic maple

rocker requires 15 board feet of maple, and a modern

rocker requires 12 board feet of maple. Write an inequality

that limits the possible number of maple rockers of each

type that can be made, and graph the inequality in the first

quadrant.

Answer provided by our tutors

let classic maple rocking chairs made be 'x'

and, modern maple rocking chairs made be 'y'

then, 15x+12y=3000

simplified form of inequality: 5x+4y=1000. This is the correct answer.
