Answer:

Fantasy: 3 barrels
Ecstasy: 1 barrel

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Fantasy uses 4 lb of nuts, 3 lb of chocolate, for a profit of $50

Ecstasy uses 4 lb of nuts, 1 lb of chocolate, for a profit of $40

In stock are 16 lb of nuts, 10 lb of chocolate

Find

amount of each to maximize profit

Solution

Let x and y represent barrels of Fantasy and Ecstasy, respectively. Then the limitations on production are ...

4x +4y ≤ 16 . . . lb of nuts

3x +y ≤ 10 . . . . lb of chocolate

We want to maximize

50x +40y

The graph shows the feasible region. Its vertices are ...

(0, 4), (3, 1), (3.33, 0)

Profit is maximized at $190 when production is 3 barrels of Fantasy and 1 barrel of Ecstasy.

hat is the approximate distance between Portland, Oregon (45° north, 122° west), and San Francisco, California (37° north, 122°

juin [17]

Since both places are on the same longitude (122° west) and different lattitudes 45° north and 37° north, the distance between the two place lies on a great circle (along a line of longitude). Difference in latitudes = 45 - 37 = 8° (subtract the lattitudes because both sides are on the same side in the latitude i.e. both are north) The distance between two points along the line of longitude is given by theta / 360 x 2 x pi x R: where theta = 8° and R is the radius of the earth = 3,960 miles. d = 8 / 360 x 2 x pi x 3960 = 552.9 miles

Answer:

The brand name television's dimensions are 32 inches by 64 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaling

Jason is considering two similar televisions at a local store. The sizes of the generic television are 3/8 the size of the brand name.

If we knew the size of the brand name television, we would have to multiply its dimensions by 3/8, but instead, we have the dimensions of the generic television, so to find the brand name television, we multiply by 8/3.

12 inches * 8/3 = 32 inches

24 inches* 8/3 = 64 inches

The brand name television's dimensions are 32 inches by 64 inches.
