A long-sleeve blouse requires 1.5 hours of cutting and 1.2 hours of sewing.
----------
A short-sleeve blouse requires 1 hour of cutting and .9 hour of sewing.
---------
A sleeveless blouse requires .5 hour of cutting and .6 hour of sewing.
----------------
There are 380 hours of labor available in the cutting department each day
and 330 hours in the sewing department.
----------------
If the plant is to run at full capacity,
how many of each type of blouse should be made each day?
--------------------------
Let x be # of long-sleeve; y be # of short sleeve ; z be # of sleeveless blouses.
EQUATIONS:
Cutting Eq: 1.5x + y + 0.5z <=380
Sewing Eq: 1.2x +0.9y + 0.6z <= 330
-------------------------
Comment: You need additional information to give you a 3rd equation
so you can solve for x,y, and z.
