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.
