Bruce's Material Company hauls gravel to a construction site, using a small truck and a large truck. The carrying capacity and operating cost per load are given in the accompanying table. Bruce must deliver a minimum of 60 cubic yards per day to satisfy her contract with the builder. The union contract with her drivers requires that the total number of loads per day is a minimum of 8. How many loads should be made in each truck per day to minimize the total cost? Capacity (yd³) Cost per Load Small Truck Large Truck 20 30 $76 $69 In order to minimize the total cost, the number of loads in a small truck that should be made is loads in a large truck that should be made is and the number of

A tool company has a uniform annual demand for 9,000 premium chainsaws. It costs $5 to store a chainsaw for a year and $2,500 to set up the plant for manufacture of the premium model. How many chainsaws should be manufactured in each production run in order to minimize the total storage and setup costs

please answer. thank you

A diesel engine uses Type A filter and high-grade lubricating oil costing P5.50 per liter. With this filter, the oil and the filter have to be changed every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of coil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter costs P148 a piece. Eighty liters of coil fill the engine. Another type, filter B, costing P120 may be used with a lower grade of oil costing P4.80 per liter. However, if this filter is used, the oil and filter have to be changed every 300 hours, and 10 liters are added after each 150 hours the engine is used. Which type of filter and oil would you recommend?

A hurricane has been predicted to make landfall in Louisiana. The counties that lie within the path of the storm along with current population estimates are given in Table 1 below.  There are several regional warehouses located in Texas, Alabama and Georgia that have capacity available to lease so that supplies can be prepositioned in advance of the storm.   The lease capacity available at each of the warehouses is 100,000 units of MREs (meals ready-to-eat). The cost to lease each warehouse along with the capacity available is displayed in Table 2. The distance (in miles)  to ship product to each of the counties from each possible warehouse location  is summarized in Table 3. Assume travel cost is proportional to distance traveled.  Formulate a mathematical model that will determine which of the warehouses to use to preposition MREs and the amount shipped from each warehouse to each of the counties to assist those who are in need after the storm.  Assume that 25% of the population will…

Cook County Illinois estimates that a typical family household normally uses between 35 and 40 units of water per three-month billing cycle. A unit of water is approximately 750 gallons and flushing the toilet and taking showers are the largest uses of water.

Three planes depart from three different airpoits at 8:00 am, all traveling to Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL). The first plane is a small passenger plane that must travel 110 miles to reach FLL. The second plane is a large passenger plane that must travel 825 miles. The third plane is a cargo plane that must travel 640 miles. The small passenger plane travelled at an average speed of 200 millies per hour the cargo plane arrived a FLL at 9:15AM. How many minutes before the cargo plane arrived did the small passenger plane arrive?
