In an eight-hour day, isabel can produce 15 pounds of taffy or 3 pounds of chocolate chip cookies. in an eight-hour day, ramona can produce 6 pounds of taffy or 6 pounds of chocolate chip cookies. the opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of chocolate chip cookies is:
a) one-fifth of an hour for isabel and one hour for ramona.
b) one hour for isabel and one hour for ramona.
c) 5 pounds of taffy for isabel and 1 pound of taffy for ramona.
d) one-fifth of a pound of taffy for isabel and 1 pound of taffy for ramona.

Option C is the correct one

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Isabel takes 1 hour to produce 3 pounds of chocolate chips, it would take 1/3 of an hour to produce 1, no one-fifth of an hour nor one hour. Thus, options A and B are incorrect.

Now, in 1 hour, she can produce either 3 pounds of chocolate chips or 15 punds of taffy, thus, if she produces 3 pounds of chocolate chips, she could have produced 15 pounds of taffy. We can use a rule of three to determine that if she produces 1 pound of chocolate chip, she could have produced 15*1/3 = 5 pounds of taffy. Producing one pound of chocolate chip has an opportunity cost of 5 pounds of taffy for Isabel.

Similarly, Ramona produces the same amount of taffy than chocolate in one hour, thus, if she produces 1 pound of chocolate, she has to pay an opportunity cost of 1 pound of taffy.

Therefore, option C is the correct one.

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.
