1. Determine the number of wheels needed for each bike and trike.
- Bikes have 2 wheels.
- Trikes have 3 wheels.
2. Calculate the maximum number of bikes and trikes that can be assembled using the given number of wheels.
- Divide the total number of wheels (59) by the number of wheels required for each bike or trike.
- In this case, 59 divided by 2 equals 29.5, and 59 divided by 3 equals approximately 19.67.
3. Since the workers don't like to have any leftover seats at the end of their shift, the number of seats ordered should be enough to satisfy the production of either 29 bikes or 19 trikes.
4. Determine the total number of seats needed based on the maximum number of bikes or trikes.
- If 29 bikes are assembled, you would need 29 bikes ร 2 seats per bike = 58 seats.
- If 19 trikes are assembled, you would need 19 trikes ร 3 seats per trike = 57 seats.
5. To ensure no leftover seats, you should order the higher number of seats required. In this case, you should order 58 seats.
6. Finally, calculate the number of boxes of seats to order.
- Since each box contains 6 seats, divide the total number of seats needed (58) by the number of seats per box (6).
- 58 seats รท 6 seats per box = approximately 9.67 boxes.
Therefore, the factory should order approximately 10 boxes of seats to ensure they have enough seats for the bikes and trikes made with 59 wheels, considering there should be no leftover seats.
