A fruit juice company makes two kinds of juice blends, each in 1 gallon bottles. the regular mix uses 1/2 a gallon of orange jui

ce and 1/2 gallon of pineapple juice, while the tropical mix uses 3/4 gallon of orange juice and 1/4 gallon of pineapple juice. The company wants to maximize its profit from selling “r” bottles of the regular juice mix and “t” bottles of the tropical mix made using the 225 gallons of orange juice and 150 gallons of pineapple juice it currently has on hand
A. Give four constraints the company must take into consideration to maximize the profit

B. Graph and shade the region bounded by the constraints from part a.

C. If the regular juice blend makes a $2.50 profit per bottle sold and the tropical juice blend makes a $1.75 profit per bottle sold, the profit from selling “r” bottles of the regular blend and “t” bottles of the tropical blend is P=2.5r+1.75t. The maximum profit is the maximum value found when evaluating the profit function at each vertex on the graph ( or the point closest to the vertex with values that make sense in context.) Whats the maximum profit, and how many bottles of each type of juice blend will be sold to make that profit? Assume all manufactured bottles are sold.

Answer:

56 regular   37 tropical             Maximum profit   $204.75

Step-by-step explanation:

 Constraints are:  

r ≥ 0  

t ≥ 0  

2r+ 3t ≤ 125  

2r + 1t ≤ 150

I will multiply the second by -3 to cancel  t  variable and see what  is the maximum amount for the regular

2r + 3t ≤  225

-6r - 3t ≤   -450

ADD BOTH

-4r    ≤ -225

r≤ 56.5  

Since we need to pick whole bottles ,not a fraction of a bottle we need ro round down.It should be less  than 65.5.So we need 56 bottles of regular

2*56 +3t  ≤ 225

112+3t ≤ 225

3t ≤ 113

t≤  37.6666    

37 bottles of tropical

2*56 + 3*37 =  112+111 =223       223<225

2*56 +37  =  112 +37  =149          149<150

$2.5*56 = $140

$1.75*37 = $64.65

Total profit   $204.75

Answer:

y=\frac{x+9}{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y=n-9

x= y(n-9)

x= yn-9n

-yn= -x-9n

yn= x+9n

y=\frac{x+9}{n}

Which explains why the graph is not a function?

The statements that apply to the ratio of rice and water are:

  • The ratio of rice to water is 1 to 2.5
  • The ratio of water to rice is 2.5 to 1

<h3>Ratios</h3>

Ratios are used to compare quantities of different measurements

The entries on the table are given as:

<u>Rice          Water</u>

2                  5

3                  7.5

5                 12.5

8                 20

<h3>The ratios of both quantities</h3>

The ratio (r) of rice and water is then calculated as:

r = \frac{Water}{Rice}

Pick any corresponding table entry.

So, we have:

r = \frac{5}{2}

Divide

r = 2.5

This means that, the ratio of rice to water is 1 to 2.5, and the ratio of water to rice is 2.5 to 1

the eagle trucking company must deliver 7/8 ton of cement blocks and 5/8 ton of bricks how much will this load weigh?
Mademuasel [1]
This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.

So, the truck is delivering a \frac{7}{8} ton of cement blocks, and a \frac{5}{8} of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.

\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{8}

And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.
