1. How long will it take for you to fill a rush order? It would take the team 26 minutes. The rush order itself of would require 7 steps as follows (the total cycle time is listed in parentheses):
• Clean Bowl, Add ingredients, and Mix (06:00 mins)
• Dish Cookies onto Tray* (02:00 mins)
• Put Cookies in Oven, Set Timer & Temp*(01:00 mins)
• Baking * (09:00 mins)
• Remove cookies and cool (05:00 mins)
• Bag cookies* (02:00 mins)
• Accept payment (01:00 mins) TOTAL 26:00 mins
*Per Dozen cookies. I am assuming that this rush order is for 12 cookies (1 dozen) only.

2. How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open four hours each night?
4 hours is 240 minutes. Since there are some steps that do not increase exponentially with each batch (dozen) cookies you make, the time to cook 2 dozen or 3 dozen is not, "26 mins x 2" or "26 mins x 3". Instead here is what it takes to make 3 dozen cookies which is the capacity of (first step) the mixing bowl itself.

• Clean Bowl, Add ingredients, and Mix (06:00 mins) same for 3 dozen 06:00 mins
• Dish Cookies onto Tray* (02:00 mins) x 3 dozen = 06:00 mins
• Put Cookies in Oven, Set Timer & Temp*(01:00 mins) x 3 dozen = 03:00 mins
• Baking * (09:00 mins) x 3 dozen = 27:00 mins
• Remove cookies and cool (05:00 mins) same for 3 dozen 05:00 mins
• Bag cookies* (02:00 mins) x 3 dozen = 06:00 mins
3 doz TOTAL 53 mins
If the team produced 3 dozen cookies every 53 minutes, they would be able to complete 4.53 cycles which is equivalent to 13.59 dozen cookies. Now, since there is really no such thing as a half cycle, we have to round down (and assume that the team stops after their 4th cycle knowing that they do not have enough time to complete a 5th round of baking) so we get:

Preparing cookies for the 240 mins that they are open each day equates to 4 baking cycles of 3 dozen cookies per cycle = 12 dozen cookies or

    Imp 2 Cookies Cover Letter

    The main goal of the Cookies unit was to solve the Unit Problem. The unit problem introduced us to the Woos, the owners of a cookie bakery. The Woos want to find the most profitable combination of plain and iced cookies to bake and sell in their store. We were given several constraints for this problem. According to the Woo’s recipes, a dozen normal cookies requires one pound of cookie dough, and a dozen iced cookies requires .7 pounds of cookie dough. The Woo family only has 110 pounds of cookie dough in stock, which will affect the number of cookies that can be made. The iced cookies also need icing, obviously. A dozen of iced cookies required .4 pounds of icing and the Woos only have 32 pounds of icing in stock. There are also limitations for the oven space in the Woo’s kitchen. It can only hold 140 cookies at a time. The last limitation that the Woo family’s problem has is time. The preparation time of the plain cookies is .1 hours, and the preparation time of the iced cookies is .15 hours. The Woo family only has 15 hours to prepare the iced and plain cookies for the oven. All of these constraints decide the number of cookies that you can and cannot have. The second half of the problem was concerning the combination of normal cookies and iced cookies that would give the most profitable result. A dozen of plain cookies cost $4.50 to make and sell for $6.00 and a dozen of iced cookies cost $5.00 to make, and sell for 7.00. So, they make a profit of $1.50 per dozen of plain cookies and $2.00 per dozen of iced cookies. The Woo family knows that they can sell all the cookies they make. The point of this problem was to find the most profitable combination of iced and normal cookies.…

    Grilled cheese math assignment

    In our problem for the week of special topics were are given a problem regarding achieving a best time to make grilled cheeses in a efficient manner in the shortest amount of time. The problem states; You need to make five grilled cheese sandwiches. You have a grill that is large enough to toast two sandwiches at a time. The sandwiches must be toasted one minute on each side. It takes 3 seconds to flip a sandwich and 5 seconds to take one off or put one on the grill. What is the shortest time needed to toast all five sandwiches? So with the information given we can conclude that the sandwiches have to be toasted at least 5 mins so it is obvious we cant get anything lower then 5 mins. Next we make an assumption that we can flip two sandwiches at the same time as well as take off and put on two sandwiches as well as take off two sandwiches all simultaneously. So the best way to solve this problem would be to first simpify the problem so that it is easier to see the soultion. So I decided to label the grill cheeses. Each side is denoted by A, B,C, D, E. So assuming the time starts for for the countdown when the two sandwiches are put on the Grill. Step 1: A B toasted one side 1 min =1min Step 2: Now Remove B and put C 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec( for removing B 5 sec + put C 5 sec+ flip A 3sec) Step 3 A C toasted on grill 1 min =1min Step 4: Now Remove A(completed) and put D 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec ( for removing A 5 sec + put C 5 sec+ flip C 3sec) Step 5 C D toasted on grill 1min =1min Step 6 (remove C(completed) ,put E, flip D) 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec Step 7 D E toasted on grill toasted 1 min =1min Step 8 remove D(completed), put B , flip E 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec Step 9 B E toasted on Grill 1 min =1min…
