Question

Both Hannah and Andy run a cleaning business. It takes Andy 60 minutes 10
to clean offices and 30 minutes to clean jail cells. Hannah can clean
offices in 20 minutes and jail cells in 15 minutes. Is this information output
(what they can produce) or input (what they use to produce)
information?
inputs
process outputs

Answer 1

Answer:

• The information is input (what they use to produce).

Explanation:

The information given is input, what they use to produce.

It is told that Andy takes 60  minutes to clean offices and 30 minutes to clean jail cels. That is the time he uses, not what he produces.

The product is clean offices and clean jail cels. But it is not told how many offices and how many jail cels Andy cleans in those times. Thus, the information is about what he uses to produce (the input) and not what he produces (the output).

The same must be said of the information about Hannah cleaning business: time is the input and clean offices and clean jail cels are the product.

In conclusion, the information is input (what they use to produce).
