7 A factory produces two models of washing machines, A and B, in three available finishes: N, L and S. Model A is produced in 400 units in Finish N, 200 units in Finish L and 50 units in Finish S. Model B is produced in 300 units in Finish N, 100 units in Finish L and 30 units in Finish S. Finish N takes 25 hours of workshop time to complete and 1 hour of administration. Finish L takes 30 hours of workshop time and 1.2 hours of administration. Finally, Finish S takes 33 hours of workshop time and 1.3 hours of administration.
1.Represent the information in two matrices.
2.Find a matrix that expresses the hours of workshop and administration time needed for each of the models.
8A furniture company manufactures three different models of shelves: A, B and C. Each of these models is offered in both large and small sizes. Everyday, the factory produces 1,000 large and 8,000 small shelves in Type A, 8,000 large and 6,000 small shelves in Type B and 4,000 large and 6,000 small shelves in Type C. Regardless of the type, each large shelf has 16 screws and 6 supporting brackets while each small shelf has 12 screws and 4 supporting brackets.
