You would like to make a nutritious meal of eggs, edamame, and elbow macaroni. The meal should provide at least 40 g of carbohyd

rates, at least 20 g of protein, and no more than 50 g of fat. An egg (one serving) contains 2 g of carbohydrates, 17 g of protein, and 14 g of fat. A serving of edamame contains 12 g of carbohydrates, 12 g of protein, and 6 g of fat. A serving of elbow macaroni contains 43 g of carbohydrates, 8 g of protein, and 1 g of fat. An egg costs $2, a serving of edamame costs $5, and a serving of elbow macaroni costs $3. Formulate a linear optimization model that could be used to determine the number of servings of egg, edamame, and elbow macaroni that should be in the meal in order to meet the nutrition requirements at minimal cost. (You don’t need to find the optimal solution to the model you formulate) ======== In your response please - define decision variables with NUN (Name, Unit, Notation) (e.g. Let E be the number of eggs in the meal) Then provide the mathematical model for the LP problem. - objective function - constraints

Answer:

2x + 12y + 43 ≥ 40

17x + 12y + 8z ≥ 20

14x + 6y + z ≤ 50

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

z ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

Cost Eggs = $2

Cost of edema = $5

cost of  elbow Macaroni = $3

Lets eggs = x,

edamame = y

elbow macaroni = z

TC = 2x+5y+3z

Therefore;

2x + 12y + 43 ≥ 40

17x + 12y + 8z ≥ 20

14x + 6y + z ≤ 50

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

z ≥ 0

the first objective is to make sure the total cost is subject to the required nutritional requirements.

So the total cost function (TC) is denoted by the number of servings multiplied for each costs. Eggs cost $2, edamame $5, and macaroni $3.

The problem subjects that each meal contains at least 40g of carbohydrates (this is the condition).

to get this we need to add what each meal component adds to the total, eggs add 2g of carbs, edamame 12g, and macaroni 43g.

Same should be done for protein, we require at least 20 grams of protein,  Eggs add 17g, edamame adds 12g, and macaroni adds 8g.

and lastly we don't want more than 50 grams of fat,  Eggs add 14g, edamame add 6g and macaroni 1g.

PLEASE ANSWER FAAST!! A car wheel has a diameter of 20.8 inches. About how far does the car travel in 5 rotations?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

65.312 inches

326.56 inches

1959.36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

d = 20.8 inches

To find

Travel in 1, 5, 30 rotations

Solution

Circumference of the wheel is equal to one full rotation

C = πd = 3.14*20.8 = 65.312 inches

5C = 5*65.312 = 326.56 inches

30C = 30*65.312 = 1959.36 inches

Anita plans to give her husband 3 shirts for his birthday. She narrows the search to 3 shirts from a selection of 17 shirts at D
Lunna [17]

Using the combination formula, it is found that she can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.

The order in which the shirt are chosen is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

Combination formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this problem:

  • 3 shirts from a set of 17.
  • Then, 3 shirts from a set of 20.
  • They are independent, hence, to find the total, we multiply both combinations.

T = C_{17,3} \times C_{20,3} = \frac{17!}{3!14!} \times \frac{20!}{3!17!} = 680 \times 1140 = 775200

She can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.
