The production planner for a private label soft drink maker is planning the production of two soft drinks: root beer (R) andsassafras soda (S). Two resources are constrained: production time (T), of which she has at most 8 hours per day; andcarbonated water (W), of which she can get at most 1500 gallons per day. A case of root beer requires 5 minutes of time and 2gallons of water to produce, while a case of sassafras soda requires 3 minutes of time and 5 gallons of water. Profits for theroot beer are $6.00 per case, and profits for the sassafras soda are $4.00 per case. What is the production time constraint (inminutes)?

Select one:

a.

2 R + 5 S <= 8

b.

5 R + 3 S <= 8

c.

5 R + 2 S <=1500

d.

5 R + 3 S <= 1500

e.

3 R + 5S <= 8
