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

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a. x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

b. Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

c. x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

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

x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

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:

Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

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:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

The ratio of boys to girls at King Middle school is 3:2. What is the ratio of girls to all students?

Dominik [7]

The answer is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: "2: 5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .

Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;

in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .

→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
