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? (1 point) Responses Option B is viable, but Option A is not. Option B is viable, but Option A is not. Both options are viable. Both options are viable. Option A is viable, but option B is not. Option A is viable, but option B is not. Neither option is viable. Neither option is viable.
Option A:
Total height: (3 feet x 3 crates) + (5 feet x 2 crates) = 9 feet + 10 feet = 19 feet
Since the total height exceeds the height of the warehouse (18 feet), Option A is not viable.
Option B:
Total height: (3 feet x 4 crates) + (5 feet x 1 crate) = 12 feet + 5 feet = 17 feet
Since the total height is less than the height of the warehouse (18 feet), Option B is viable.
Therefore, the correct response is:
Option B is viable, but Option A is not.
