Set up, but do not solve the system of linear equations that must be solved to determine the number of each type of boat required to transport 90,000 Kgs of metal, 78,500 Kgs of wood and 40,000 Kgs of plastic from a port in Windsor to a port in Montreal. Be sure to include a well written definition of the variables.
There are three types of boats that carry metal products, wood products, and
plastic products. The amount of each type of product, in kilograms, that each boat can carry is given in the following table.
Boat Type 1 Boat Type 2 Boat Type 3
Metal 5000 0 7500
Wood 4000 500 3000
Plastic 0 4500 2800
Set up, but do not solve the system of linear equations that must be solved to
determine the number of each type of boat required to transport 90,000
Kgs of metal, 78,500 Kgs of wood and 40,000 Kgs of plastic from a port in Windsor to a port in Montreal. Be sure to include a well written definition of the variables.
