A ceramics workshop makes wreaths, trees, and sleighs for sale at Christmas. A wreath takes 3
hours to prepare, 2 hours to paint, and 9 hours to fire. A tree takes 16 hours to prepare, 3 hours to
paint, and 4 hours to fire. A sleigh takes 4 hours to prepare, 17 hours to paint, and 7 hours to fire. If
the workshop has 135 hours for prep time, 87 hours for painting, and 126 hours for firing, How
many of each can be made?
6 wreaths, 3 trees, 9 sleighs
10 wreaths, 7 trees, 4 sleighs
3 wreaths, 9 trees, 6 sleighs
9 wreaths, 6 trees, 3 sleighs
