1. **State the problem:** We need to determine which machine produces juice boxes at a faster rate and then find how many juice boxes that faster machine produces in 30 minutes.
2. **Given data:**
- Triton XZ produces 3,850 juice boxes in 14 minutes.
- Rockner 2.0's production is shown by a line graph starting near (0,0) and reaching about 2,700 juice boxes at 10 minutes.
3. **Find the rate of production for each machine:**
- Rate is calculated as $$\text{rate} = \frac{\text{juice boxes}}{\text{time in minutes}}$$
4. **Calculate Triton XZ's rate:**
$$\text{rate}_{\text{Triton}} = \frac{3850}{14} \approx 275 \text{ juice boxes per minute}$$
5. **Calculate Rockner 2.0's rate from the graph:**
- At 10 minutes, Rockner 2.0 produces about 2,700 juice boxes.
$$\text{rate}_{\text{Rockner}} = \frac{2700}{10} = 270 \text{ juice boxes per minute}$$
6. **Compare the rates:**
- Triton XZ: 275 juice boxes/min
- Rockner 2.0: 270 juice boxes/min
Triton XZ produces juice boxes at a slightly faster rate.
7. **Calculate how many juice boxes Triton XZ produces in 30 minutes:**
$$\text{juice boxes} = \text{rate} \times \text{time} = 275 \times 30 = 8250$$
**Final answer:**
- Triton XZ produces juice boxes faster.
- In 30 minutes, Triton XZ produces 8,250 juice boxes.
