Answer:

Answer explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the working hours of plant A.

Let b be the working hours of plant H.

Let c be the working hours of plant M.

We have to minimize , Z = 60a + 92b + 140c

subject to constraint , 40a + 20b + 40c >=350

20a + 40b + 40c >=240

where a>=0 , b>=0 ,c>=0

So ,by solving this , a = 7.67 , b= 2.17 , c = 0

So ,working hours of plant A = 8 hrs

working hours of plant H = 3 hrs

working hours of plant M = 0 hrs

Answer:

A = 8hrs

H = 3hrs

M = 0hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the working hours of plant A.

Let b be the working hours of plant H.

Let c be the working hours of plant M.

∴ Hours of plants A,H,M are a,b,c respectively.

We have to minimize the cost of production, Z = 60a + 92b + 140c

Regular ice cream: 40a + 20b + 40c = 350

Deluxe ice cream: 20a + 40b +40c =240

Where a>=0, b>=0, c>=0

So, by solving this, a= 7.67, b= 2.77,c= 0

So working hours of plant A = 8 hrs

Working hours of plant H = 3 hrs

Working hours of plant M = 0 hrs

What is the volume of the following triangular prism?

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$V=150cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find area of the triangle with a base of 4 cm and a height of 5cm, and then multiply that by the length of the prism of 15cm.

The area of the triangle is given by the formula:

$A_T=\frac{bh}{2}$

where b is the base: $b=4cm$ and h is the height: $h=5cm$

thus, in this case we have:

$A_T=\frac{(4cm)(5cm)}{2}\\ \\A_T=\frac{20cm^2}{2} \\\\A_T=10cm^2$

And now, the volume will be the area of the triangle multiplied by the length $l=15cm$ of the prism:

$V=A_T*l$

Substituting the known values:

$V=10cm^2*15cm\\V=150cm^3$

The volume in cubic centimeters is 150.

Pratap Puri rowed 14 miles down a river in 2 hours, but the return trip took him 3 and one half hours. Find the rate Pratap can

SOVA2 [1]

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
