_) Jane bakes sourdough loaves, which are full of gluten. Unfortunately, John is allergic to gluten and wants to bake gluten-free loaves. John does not have their own “starter” (a mix of yeast, flour, and water that makes a loaf rise in the oven). Jane's starter is 50g of water and 50g of flour with gluten, and a microscopic amount of yeast that we will ignore. Jane gives John 50g of her starter. For John's first loaf, they replace the missing half of their starter with 25 g of gluten-free flour and 25g of water. This means their starter is now 25g of gluten-free flour, 25g of flour with gluten, and 50g of water. Once the yeast in this starter is fully activated, John is ready to make their first loaf. To bake the loaf they mix 50 g (half) of the starter with 225g of gluten-free flour and 225g of water, meaning the loaf is always
1. "The Diet Problem": Suppose that a thrifty patient of limited means was advised by his doctor to increase the consumption of Vegetable1 and Vegetable2 in his diet. In each meal he must get no less than 200 cal from this combination and no more than 14 units of fat. When he consulted his diet book, he found the following information: there are 150 cal in a kg of Vegetable1 and 200 cal in a kg of Vegetable2. However there are 14 units of fat in a kg of Vegetable1 and 4 units of fat in a kg of Vegetable2. Vegetablel costs at least Rs.30 per kg and Vegetable2 costs at least Rs.50 per kg. He can afford to pay only the least price. How do he meet the requirement set by the doctor?

• Part 1 Rework problem 3 in section 1 of Chapter 7 of your textbook, about the Natural Fertilizer Company, using the following data. Assume that the company produces 100 pound sacks of 30-25-20 fertilizer for lawns and 100 pound sacks of 15-15-12 fertilizer for gardens, where the numbers are the percentage by weight of nitrate, phosphate, and potash, respectively, in each sack. Assume also that the company has on hand 12 tons of nitrate, 9 tons of phosphate, and 6 tons of potash, Assume also that the profit on each sack of lawn fertilizer is $10.00 and the profit on each sack of garden fertilizer is $6.00. How many sacks of each type of fertilizer should the company make in order maximize its profit?

TMA is the main supplier of tvs to the Pulsar Corporation, its holding company, which has priority in having all its requirements met. In a certain month, Pulsar placed orders for 3000 and 4000 televisions to be shipped to two of its factories located in City A and City B, respectively. The shipping costs (in dollars) per television from the 2 TMA plants to the 2 Pulsar factories are as follows.
