1. A small manufacturing plant makes three types of inflatable boats: one-person, two-person, and four-person models. Each boat requires the service of three departments, as listed on the table. The cutting, assembly, and packaging departments have a maximum of 380, 330, and 120 labor- hours per week, respective. Department One-Person Boat Two-Person Boat Four-Person Boat Cutting 0.5 hours 1.0 hours 1.5 hours Assembly 0.6 hours 0.9 hours 1.2 hours Packaging 0.2 hours 0.3 hours 0.5 hours How many boats of each type must be produced each week for the plant to operate at full capacity? Make sure to label the variables using a complete sentence, write the system of equations, write the corresponding augmented matrix, solve using matrix methods, and write your answer as a complete sentence (you might need to use the other side of the page)

An electronics company produces transistors, resistors, and computer chips. Each transistor requires 3 units of copper, 1 unit of zinc, and 2 units of glass. Each resistor requires 3, 2, and 1 units of the three materials, and each computer chip requires 2, 1, and 2 units of these materials, respectively. How many of each product can be made with the following amounts of materials? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Let x represent the number of transistors that can be made, y the number of resistors, and z the number of computer chips. Write a system of three linear equations when the amounts of available materials are 775 units of copper, 385 units of zinc, and 470 units of glass. Choose the correct answer below. A. 3x + 3y + 2z = 385 x+2y+z=775 2x+y + 2z = 470 O C. 3x + 3y + 2z = 775 x + 2y + z = 385 2x+y + 2z = 470 The company can make 6 transistors, 2 resistors, and 3 computer chips.
