Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To maximize the total quantity of both sweaters and cookies, it is best for each person to specialize in the task they are more efficient at. In this case, Sami's productivity in baking is equivalent to her productivity in knitting, while Leila is three times more efficient at knitting than baking.

Therefore, if Sami focuses on baking and Leila focuses on knitting, they can produce the maximum quantity of both products.

Option D is the best choice because Leila would knit 15 sweaters in a week and bake 480 cookies, while Sami would knit 0 sweaters and bake 0 cookies.
