Quantifying Reactants and Products.

If the supplier sends only 500 pedals one week, then how many tricycles would you be able to manufacture? Assume that none of the other parts will run out before using all the pedals.

Using a balanced equation.

-The tricycle manufacturing facility has decided to make 288 tricycles each day. How many tricycle seats, wheels, and pedals are needed for each day?

Answer 1

500 P x 1 tricycle / 2 P = 250 tricycles

288 tricycles/day x 1 seat / tricycles = 288 seats/day

288 tricycles/day x 3 wheels / tricycle = 864 wheels/day

288 tricycles/day x 2 pedals / tricylse = 576 pedals/day
