Problem
Louis and Carrie Anne are students who have set up a summer business in their neighbor-hood. They cut lawns and clean cars. Louis is particularly efficient at cutting the grass - he requires one hour to cut a typical lawn, while Carrie Anne needs one and one half hours. In contrast, Carrie Anne can wash a car in a half hour, while Louis requires three quarters of an hour.
(a) If they decide to specialize in the tasks, who should cut the grass and who should wash cars?
(b) If they each work a twelve hour day, how many lawns can they cut and how many cars can they wash if they specialize in performing the work?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
