Answer:

3 student.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement:

Let the total score be T

Let the total number of student be x

The average of the score = 72

Average = Tota score / number of student

72 = T/x

Cross multiply

T = 72x ..... (1)

Second statement:

One more student took the test and the average becomes 76 with the student having a score of 88.

Therefore,

Overall score = T + 88

Total student = x + 1

Average = 76

Average = overall score / total number of student

76 = (T + 88) /(x + 1)

Cross multiply

76(x + 1) = T + 88

Clear bracket

76x + 76 = T + 88

From equation 1

T = 72x

76x + 76 = 72x + 88

Collect like terms

76x – 72x = 88 – 76

4x = 12

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = 12/4

x = 3

Therefore, the initial number of the student were 3.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8 am Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the two watches is  2+1= 3 minutes.

It would take 60/3 = 20 hours to have a difference of 60 minutes.

From noon Sunday it would be more 20 hours the earliest time there would be a difference of one hour between the two watches' time.

12 noon + 20 hours=  8 am Monday

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The model is:

z = 14* X₁₁ + 14*X₁₂ + 5*X₁₃ + 10*X₂₁ + 10*X₂₂ + 10*X₂₃ + 5*X₃₁ + 5*X₃₂ + 5*X₃₃    to maximize

Subject to:

First center               X₁₁  +  X₂₁  + X₃₁  ≤  550

Second center         X₁₂  +  X₂₂  + X₃₂  ≤ 750

Third center               X₁₃  + X₂₃  + X₃₃  ≤ 275                  

22* X₁₁  + 16* X₂₁  + 9*X₃₁     ≤   11000

22* X₁₂  + 16* X₂₂  + 9*X₃₂   ≤   2700

22*X₁₃  + 16* X₂₃  +  9*X₃₃  ≤  3400

X₁₁  +  X₁₂  + X₁₃  ≤  710

X₂₁  + X₂₂ + X₂₃  ≤  900

X₃₁ + X₃₂ + X₃₃  ≤  350

2700*(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁)  -  11000*(X₁₂ + X₂₂ + X₃₂) = 0

3400*(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁) - 11000*( ( X₁₃ + X₂₃ + X₃₃) = 0

Xij >= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call Xij   product size i produced in center j

According to this, we get the following set of variable

X₁₁    product size huge produced in center 1

X₁₂    product size huge produced in center 2

X₁₃   product size huge produced in center 3

X₂₁   product size average produced in center 1

X₂₂   product size average produced in center 2

X₂₃   product size average produced in center 3

X₃₁  product size-tiny produced in center 1

X₃₂ product size-tiny produced in center 2

X₃₃ product size-tiny produced in center 3

Then Objective function is

z = 14* X₁₁ + 14*X₁₂ + 5*X₁₃ + 10*X₂₁ + 10*X₂₂ + 10*X₂₃ + 5*X₃₁ + 5*X₃₂ + 5*X₃₃

Center capacity

1.-   First center               X₁₁  +  X₂₁  + X₃₁  ≤  550

2.-   Second center         X₁₂  +  X₂₂  + X₃₂  ≤ 750

3.- Third center               X₁₃  + X₂₃  + X₃₃  ≤ 275

Water available

1.-  22* X₁₁  + 16* X₂₁  + 9*X₃₁     ≤   11000

2.-  22* X₁₂  + 16* X₂₂  + 9*X₃₂   ≤   2700

3.-   22*X₁₃  + 16* X₂₃  +  9*X₃₃  ≤  3400

Demand constrain

Product huge

X₁₁  +  X₁₂  + X₁₃  ≤  710

Product average

X₂₁  + X₂₂ + X₂₃  ≤  900

Product tiny

X₃₁ + X₃₂ + X₃₃  ≤  350

Fraction SP/CC must be the same

First and second centers  fraction SP/CC  

(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁)/ 11000   =  (X₁₂ + X₂₂ + X₃₂)/ 2700

2700*(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁)  -  11000*(X₁₂ + X₂₂ + X₃₂) = 0

First and third centers  fraction SP/CC  

(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁)/ 11000   = ( X₁₃ + X₂₃ + X₃₃)/ 3400

3400*(X₁₁  +  X ₂₁  + X₃₁) - 11000*( ( X₁₃ + X₂₃ + X₃₃) = 0

The model is:

z = 14* X₁₁ + 14*X₁₂ + 5*X₁₃ + 10*X₂₁ + 10*X₂₂ + 10*X₂₃ + 5*X₃₁ + 5*X₃₂ + 5*X₃₃

Subject to:

First center               X₁₁  +  X₂₁  + X₃₁  ≤  550
