On a 750-mi trip from Salt Lake City to San Francisco that took a total of 5.5 h, a person took a limousine to the airport, then a plane, and finally a car to reach the final destination. The limousine took as long as the final car trip and the time for connections. The limousine averaged 55 mi/h, the plane averaged 400 mi/h, and the car averaged 40 mi/h. The plane traveled four times as far as the limousine and car combined. How long did each part of the trip and the connections take?

An automobile maker has two assembly plants at which cars with either 4, 6, or 8 cylinders and with either standard or automatic transmission are assembled. The annual production at the first plant of cars with the number of cylinders–transmission type (standard, automatic) is as follows:
4: 12,000, 15,000; 6: 24,000, 8000; 8: 4000, 30,000
At the second plant the annual production is
4: 15,000, 20,000; 6: 12,000, 3000; 8: 2000, 22,000
Set up matrices for this production, and by matrix addition find the matrix for the total production by the number of cylinders and type of transmission.
