In 1992, George Brown started the Old Oregon Wood Store to manufacture Old Oregon tables. Each table is carefully constructed by

hand using the highest-quality oak. Old Oregon tables can support more than 500 pounds, and since the start of the Old Oregon Wood Store, not one table has been returned because of faulty workmanship or structural problems. In addition to being rugged, each table is beautifully finished using a urethane varnish that George developed over 20 years of working with wood-finishing materials. The manufacturing process consists of four steps: preparation, assembly, finishing, and packaging. Each step is performed by one person. In addition to overseeing the entire operation, George does all of the finishing. Tom Surowski performs the preparation step, which involves cutting and forming the basic components of the tables. Leon Davis is in charge of the assembly, and Cathy Stark performs the packaging.
1. What is the fastest way to manufacture Old Oregon tables using the original crew? How many could be made per day?
2. Would production rates and quantities change significantly if George would allow Randy to perform one of the four functions and make one of the original crew the backup person?
3. What is the fastest time to manufacture a table with the original crew if Cathy is moved to either preparation or finishing?
4. Whoever performs the packaging function is severely underutilized. Can you find a better way of utilizing the four-or five-person crew than either giving each a single job or allowing each to manufacture an entire table? How many tables could be manufactured per day with this scheme?

1. The fastest way to produce the tables is to have the person in-charge of finishing and packaging help with the preparation. Then, the person in-charge of preparation and packaging can help with the assembly. The finishing can also be done by three people. Finally, the packaging step can be helped by assembly and finishing people. This would produce more tables per day.

2. No. It would be better if the backup person can help with the task.

3. Tom could do the packaging since he'd be free after doing his step.

4. The scheme in No. 1 can be used.

What is the difference between factoring and solving ?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 13cm and its width is 11/4. find its length.
enyata [817]
Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width

P = 2(l) + 2(11/4)

13 = 2l +2* \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{2}{1} * \frac{11}{4}

13 = 2l + \frac{22}{4}     (subtract 22/4 from each side)

13 -\frac{22}{4} = 2l

13 -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{26}{2}  -\frac{11}{2} = 2l

\frac{15}{2}} = 2l

7.5 = 2l    (divide each side by 2)

7.5 ÷ 2 = l

3.75 = l

The answer is 3.75 or 3 \frac{3}{4}

You might want to stick to at most five questions at once, makes it easier for the rest of us. :)

17. T has a vertical line of symmetry (along the center line).
18. Z looks the same if you turn it halfway around.
19. The passes total to 150°, which is a little less than 180°, so I estimate it would be in front of Kai.
20. Left is the -x direction. Up is the +y direction. this is (x-6, y+4)
21. Every dilation has a center (where it's dilated from) and a scale factor (how much it's dilated).
22. It must be A, because it's the only one where the number of moves adds up to 16.
23. It can be determined to be B just by tracking where point C would end up through the transformation.
24. A 180° rotation flips the signs on both components to give you (-1, 6).
25. Right is the +x direction. Down is the -y direction. (x+3, y-5)
26. This is a reflection.

Need clarification on anything?
