Kristian Krause · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Profit per hour on sweater = 60/3 = 20

Profit per hour on pants = 50/2 = 25

It makes more sense to devote my time to making pants, so the right answer is True. A caveat though, in one hour one pair of pants won't be produced, as it takes two hours to produce one pair.

Micah Johnson · Answer 2

True: you should devote more of your time to make pair of pants

Explanation:

Based on the scenario discussed, as we can see, it took 3hours to make a sweater which sell online and make a profit of $60, also, it took 2hrs to make a pair of pants which will have a profit of $50, so I think it be more wise to chose to make a pair of pants because it take less time but with almost the same profit with the the one for the sweater.
