An animal feed to be mixed from soybean meal and oats must contain at least 168 lb of protein, 27 lb of fat, and 14 lb of minera

atroni [7]

Answer:

The animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats

$Cost = 51.275$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be summarized as:

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {x} & {y} & {Total} & {Protein} & {70} & {21} & {168} &{Fats}& {9} & {7} & {27} & {Minerals} & {7} & {1} & {14}& {Cost} & {21} & {7} & {} \ \end{array}$

Where: x = Soybeans and y = Oats.

So, the system of equations are:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

The best way to solve this, is using graph

Plot the following equations on a graph, and get the points of intersection:

$70x + 21y = 168$

$9x +7y = 27$

$7x + y = 14$

From the attached graph, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

Substitute each of the values of x's and y's in the cost function to get the minimum cost:

$Cost = 21x + 7y$

$(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.636 + 7 * 2.545$

$Cost = 52.171$

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

$Cost = 21 * 1.775 + 7 * 1.575$

$Cost = 48.3$

$(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)$

$Cost = 21 * 2.023 + 7 * 1.256$

$Cost = 51.275$

The values of x and y that gives the minimum cost is:

$(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)$

and the minimum cost is:

$Cost = 48.3$

Hence, the animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer: 1763

Step-by-step explanation:

Split this shape into three spaces, to where there are two square-like shapes above one rectangular shape. Next you will find the area of all three separate shapes and add them up to get your total area.

23m times 12m = 276,

23m times 12m = 276,

31m - 12m = 19m, (Here, we are taking the amounts we know of our rectangular shape to get the formula L times W used for determining this shape's area. We use the length of one of the squares(12m) subtracted by the length of both the rectangular shape and one of the squares.(31m) What we get is the lone value of L.

69m times 19m = 1311.

Add 276 + 276 + 1211. Answer = 1763.
