Solve the problem.
-The number $G$ of gears a machine can make varies directly as the time $T$ it operates. If it can make 1609 gears in 11 hours, how many gears can it make in 14 hours?
A) 146.27 gears
B) 2047.82 gears
C) 1634 gears
D) 0.0957 gears

The relationship between the number of gears $G$ and the time $T$ is direct, meaning $G = kT$, where $k$ is the constant of proportionality. Given $G = 1609$ gears for $T = 11$ hours, we find $k = 1609 / 11 = 146.27$. For $T = 14$ hours, $G = 146.27 \times 14 = 2047.78$, which rounds to $2047.82$ gears.
