Answer:

11,000 pounds

Explanation:

Given that the company requires 2 pounds of material input for every 1 pounds of good plastic sheets manufactured, it means that the number of pounds of good plastic sheets manufactured multiplied by two gives the  the total standard allowed input quantity that results in the quantity of output.

If the  the company produced 5,500 pounds of good sheets in May, the total standard allowed input quantity

= 5500 * 2

= 11,000 pounds
