A snack food manufacturer buys corn for tortilla chips from two cooperatives, one in Iowa and one in Illinois. The price per uni

t of the Iowa corn is $6.00 and the price per unit of the Illinois corn is $5.50.
a. Define variables that would tell how many units to purchase from each source.

b. Develop an objective function that would minimize the total cost.

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12,000 units of corn. The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units, and the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units. Develop constraints for these conditions.

Answer:

a. <u>x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa</u>

   <u>x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois</u>

<u></u>

b. <u>Min 6x1 + 5.5x2</u>

<u></u>

c. <u>x1 + x2 ≥ 12000</u>

   <u>x1 ≤ 8000</u>

   <u>x2 ≥ 6000</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We can consider the variables x1 and x2 as:

<u>x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa</u>

<u>x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois</u>

<u></u>

b. Price per unit of Iowa corn = $6

   Price per unit of Illinois corn = $5.5

Objective function that would minimize the total cost can be written as:

<u>Min 6x1 + 5.5x2</u>

<u></u>

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12000 units of corn which means that the combined number of units from Iowa and Illinois must be greater than or equal to  12000. So, we can write:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units which means that the value of x1 must not be greater than 8000. So, we can write:

x1 ≤ 8000

Similarly, the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units which means that the value of x2 must not be less than 6000. So, we can write:

x2 ≥ 6000.

The constraints for these conditions are:

<u>x1 + x2 ≥ 12000</u>

<u>x1 ≤ 8000</u>

<u>x2 ≥ 6000</u>

Solve the equation -3k+6=15
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

K= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3k+6=15

     -6   -6

-3k=9

/-3  /-3

k=-3

subtract 6 from both sides.

divide each side by -3 to get K alone

-3 is your answer.

Alice and Bob both go to a party which starts at $5:00$. Each of them arrives at a random time between $5:00$ and $6:00$. What i
faltersainse [42]

The probability comes out to be 9/32.

Deducing Arrival Time Possibility

All the possible arrival times by Alice and Bob, in minutes after 5 PM, is constrained by the values of given values of x and y,

x = 0, y = 0, x = 60, y = 60.

Here, let the values of x represent how many minutes after 5 PM Alice arrives at the party.

Let the y values represent the time in minutes that Bob arrives at the party after 5 PM.

Calculating the Required Probability

The times that concern us, however, are obtained by the following probability function,

x + y ≤ 45.

And x = 0, y = 0, and x + y ≤ 45 define the constraints of this probability function. Thus the perimeter of such a graph will be given as,

(45² / 2) = 1012.5 square units

Since the total area of the various arrival times is 60 x 60, or 3600 square units, the probability that Alice and Bob will arrive together after 5 o'clock in the evening in less than 45 minutes is therefore = 1012.5 / 3600 = 9/32

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

288 miles

If we have the distance, we divide by 36 instead to find how many gallons of gas he used.

Step-by-step explanation:

180/5=36 miles per gallon

8 gallonsx36 miles per gallon=288 miles
