Directions for questions 83–85:
Mrs. Thomes received a large order for stitching school uniforms from Mayflower school and Little flower school. She has two cutters who will cut the fabric, five tailors who will do the stitching and two assistants to stitch the buttons and button holes. Each of these nine persons will work for exactly 10 hours a day. Each of the Mayflower uniforms requires 20 min for cutting the fabric, one hour for stitching, and 15 min for stitching buttons and button holes, whereas the Little flower uniform requires 30 min, 1 hour and 30 min respectively for these activities.

What is the number of Little flower uniforms that Mrs. Thomes can complete in a day?

Solution

Little flower uniform requires:
• Cutting = 30 min
• Stitching = 60 min
• Buttons = 30 min

Available daily working time:
• 2 cutters → 2 × 600 min = 1200 min
• 5 tailors → 5 × 600 min = 3000 min
• 2 assistants → 2 × 600 min = 1200 min

Calculate max number by each stage:

Cutting capacity = 1200 / 30 = 40
Stitching capacity = 3000 / 60 = 50
Button work capacity = 1200 / 30 = 40

Minimum of these = 40 uniforms
