Answer: The required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sprinter can run 279 feet in 9 seconds.

We are to find the sprinter's unit rate of feet per second.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

According to the given information, we have

In 9 second, distance run by the sprinter = 279 feet.

Therefore, in 1 second, the distance run by sprinter will be

$\dfrac{279}{9}=31~\textup{feet per second}.$

Thus, the required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

279ft/9sec = xft/1sec
Cross multiply to get
9x = 279 divide by 9
x = 31
31 feet per second

Answer:

e) z (max) = 24

x₁ = x₂ = 0 x₃ = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The problem requires maximizing the total value from sandwich fruits and drink, therefore the objective function is associated to the sum of the values of each value.

We have three variables xi ( x₁, x₂, x₃ ) the values of sandwich, fruits and drink, and we have to maximize such quantities subject to the constraint of size (the capacity of the basket)

b) z = 6*x₁ + 4*x₂ + 6*x₃ Objective Function

Constraint :

basket capacity 17

9*x₁ + 3*x₂ + 4*x₃ ≤ 17

General constraints:

x₁ ≥ 0 x₂ ≥ 0 x₃ ≥ 0 all integers

e) z (max) = 24

x₁ = x₂ = 0 x₃ = 4

NOTE: Without the information about fractional or decimal feasible solution we decided to use integers solution
