Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of trays of corn muffins and y be the number of trays of bran muffins.

He makes $3.00 profit per tray of corn muffins and $2.00 profit per tray of bran muffins.

Objective function: Z=3x+2y

According to the the given information:

                      Corn muffins     Bran muffins                Total    

Milk                         4                        2                            16

Wheat flour            3                         3                            15

Subject to the constraints are

4x+2y\leq 16

3x+3y\leq 15

x\geq 0,y\geq 0

Draw the graph of above qualities as shown below.

The vertices of feasible region are (0,0), (0,5), (3,2) and (4,0).

Point         Z=3x+2y

(0,0)                0

(0,5)                10

(3,2)                13

(4,0)                12

The profit is maximum at x=3 and y=2.

3 trays of corn muffins and 2 trays of bran muffins.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should
xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8

Let mZA = 40°. If zB is a complement of ZA, and ZC is a supplement of ZB, find these measures.
seraphim [82]

Angle b= 50

Angle c= 130

Complementary angles are two angles that add to equal 90

Supplementary angles are two angles that add to equal 180

To find the measurement of angle b, subtract 40 from 90 (50)

To find the measurement of angle c, subtract 50 from 180 (130)

Solve y + -7 = 13 ?
ratelena [41]
Well first off if you have a negative sign in front of the seven, DO NOT have a plus sign because it will be confusing. So y-7=13? , You add 7 to 13 and = 20, so y= 20
