To determine whether either option is viable, let's calculate the height of each option:
Option A:
Each tall crate is 5 feet tall, and there are 2 tall crates stacked. So the total height of the tall crates is 5 * 2 = 10 feet.
Each short crate is 3 feet tall, and there are 3 short crates stacked. So the total height of the short crates is 3 * 3 = 9 feet.
Therefore, the total height of option A is 10 + 9 = 19 feet, which exceeds the height of the warehouse.
Option B:
Each tall crate is 5 feet tall, and there is 1 tall crate stacked. So the total height of the tall crate is 5 * 1 = 5 feet.
Each short crate is 3 feet tall, and there are 4 short crates stacked. So the total height of the short crates is 3 * 4 = 12 feet.
Therefore, the total height of option B is 5 + 12 = 17 feet, which is less than the height of the warehouse.
Based on these calculations, only option B is viable, and option A is not.
The correct answer is:
Option B is viable, but option A is not.
A warehouse is stacking up two different kinds of crates to save more space. The tall crate is 5 feet tall, while the short one is 3 feet tall. The warehouse manager is looking at two different options to stack them.
Option A: Stack 3 short crates and 2 tall crates
Option B: Stack 4 short crates and 1 tall crate
If the manager can stack up to the height of the warehouse, which is 18 feet tall, are either of these options viable?
