A biologist wishes to feed laboratory rabbits a mixture of two types of foods. Type 1 contains 8g of fat, 12g of carbs, and 2g o

f protein per ounce. Type 2 contains 12g of fat, 12g of carbs, and 1g of protein per ounce. Type 1 costs $0.20 per ounce and Type 2 costs $0.30 per ounce. The rabbits each receive a daily minimum of 24g of fat, 36g of carbs, and 4g of protein, but get no more than 5 oz. of food per day. If each food type must be fed, how many ounces of each food type should be given to satisfy the dietary requirements at a minimum cost? (HINT: There are 4 constraints.)

Answer:

we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces  of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.

Explanation:

let x be the ounces of feed 1

let y be the ounces of feed 2

according to the information we have following inequalities  

Fat grams:8x + 12y \geq 24

Carb grams: 12x + 12y \geq 36

                      x + y \leq 3

Protein grams: 2x + y \geq 4

Total food: x + y \leq 5

for cost we have

C = 0.20x + 0.30y

Thus, we have the limitation of:

5 \geq x + y \geq 3

plotting all inequalities we have found pentagon with following points

(0,5)

C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(5) = 1.50

(0,4)

C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(4) = 1.20

(1,2)

C = 0.20(1) + 0.30(2) = 0.80

(3,0)

C = 0.20(3) + 0.30(0) = 0.60

(5,0)

C = 0.20(5) + 0.30(0) = 1.00

Thus, we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces  of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.

Answer:

  1. Waste
  2. Plastic
  3. Landfill
  4. Compost

Explanation:

Waste is anything that is thrown away because it is no longer of use.

When plastic was first invented, it was hailed for all the usefulness that it had and still has. It has a serious drawback of being very hard to decay however as it takes hundreds of years to do so thereby worsening the waste management problem that the planet is experiencing.

Landfills are where the government dumps the garbage it collects. They recycle some of this waste and destroy most.

Compost refers to organic material that is used as plant fertilizer. They contain nutrients that the plants can use to grow.
