At the Tesla automotive factory, a Model S sedan is built using 4 tires, a main chassis, and 5 lithium-ion batteries. How many sedans can be made if there are 17 tires, 5 chassis, and 22 batteries?

Answer :

The number of cars which can be made by using 4 tires, a main chassis, and 5 lithium-ion batteries are 4.

Using hit and trial method :

→ assuming tires as limiting substance

4 tires → 1 car

17 tires → 17/4 ×1 car

= 4.25 cars {reducing it to greatest integer value}

→ Assuming chassis as limiting theorem:

1 chassis → 1 car

5 chassis → 5 cars

→ Assuming batteries as limiting theorem substance:

5 batteries → 1 car

22 batteries → 22/5 × 1 car

= 4.4 → 4 cars

Therefore, 4 cars can be made by the given substance.
