Machine A produces pencils at a constant rate of 9000 pencils per hour, and machine B produces pencils at a constant rate of 7000 pencils per hour. If the two machines to gather must produce 100,000 pencils and if each machine can operate for at most 8 hours, what is the least amount of time, in hours, that machine B must operate?
A. 4
B. 4 2/3
C. 5 1/3
D. 6
E. 6 1/4
To minimize the time that machine B must operate we must maximize the time machine A can operate, so make it operate 8 hours.
