The Nueva Ecija Feeds Inc. Produces specially blended feed supplements. It has an order of no more than 400 pounds of the mixture. This consists of two ingredients: P, a source of Protein and C, a carbohydrate source. The first ingredient P, costs P6 a pound. The second ingredient C, costs P16 a pound. The mixture cannot be more than 150 pounds P, and it must have at least 200 pounds C. The company’s problem is to determine how much of each ingredient to use to minimize cost, but satisfy the requirements.

The water-supply manager for a Midwest city needs to supply the city with at least 10 million gal of potable (drinkable) water per day. The supply may be drawn from the local reservoir or from a pipeline to an adjacent town. The local reservoir has a maximum daily yield of 6 million gallons of potable water, and the pipeline has a maximum daily yield of 10 million gallons. By contract, the pipeline is required to supply a minimum of 6 million gallons/day. If the cost for 1 million gallons of reservoir water is $300 and that for pipeline water is $600, how much water should the manager get from each source to minimize daily water costs, C, for the city?
Bill is trying to plan a meal to meet specific nutritional goals. He wants to prepare a meal containing rice, tofu, and peanuts that will provide 132 grams of carbohydrates, 150 grams of fat, and 134 grams of protein. He knows that each cup of rice provides 40 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fat, and 1 grams of protein. Each cup of tofu provides 5 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of fat, and 20 grams of protein. Finally, each cup of peanuts provides 27 grams of carbohydrates, 75 grams of fat, and 32 grams of protein. How many cups of rice, tofu, and peanuts should he eat? cups of rice: cups of tofu: cups of peanuts:
This time, our immune system is the best defense. With this, a Melagail wishes to mix two types of foods in such a way that vitamin contents of the mixture contain at least 8 units of vitamin A and 10 units of vitamin C. Food A contains 2 units/kg of vitamin A and 1 unit/kg of vitamin C. Food B contains 1 unit/kg of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin C. It costs ₱50 per kg to purchase Food A and ₱70 per kg to purchase Food B. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to minimize the cost of such a mixture and find the optimal solution graphically.
For a given week, Debra's Coffee House has available 1728 ounces of A grade coffee and 1760 ounces of B grade coffee. These are blended into 1-pound packages as follows: an economy blend that contains 2 ounces of A grade coffee and 10 ounces of B grade coffee, and a superior blend that contains 9 ounces of A grade coffee and 2 ounces of B grade coffee. (The remainder of each blend is made of filler ingredients.) There is a $3 profit on each economy blend package sold and a $4 profit on each superior blend package sold. Assuming that the coffee house is able to sell as many blends as it makes, how many packages of each blend should it make to maximize its profit for the week?
A female bodybuilder is designing her diet leading up to a competition. To meet her macronutrient goals, she needs to consume at least 240 grams of protein and at least 30 grams of fat per day. Additionally, she needs to eat at most 120 grams of carbohydrates per day. Her goal is to meetthese goals while minimizing her sodium intake. She plans to eat only three foods: eggs, white rice, and oatmeal. Each serving of eggs has 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and no carbohydrates. Each serving of white rice has 4 grams of protein, no fat, and 40 grams of carbohydrates. Finally,each serving of oatmeal has 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 20 grams of carbohydrates. The eggs, white rice, and oatmeal has 60, 2, and 80 units of sodium respectively. What I Have: (a) Define the decision variables.(b) What is the objective? (c) Give all constraints for this linear programming problem.(d) Give all constraints for this linear programming problem so that all inequalities are in ≤ form.(e)…

A confectioner sells two types of nut mixtures. The standard-mixture package contains 100 g of cashews and 200 g of peanuts and sells for $1.90. The deluxe-mixture package contains 150 g of cashews and 50 g of peanuts and sells for $2.35. The confectioner has 15 kg of cashews and 20 kg of peanuts available. On the basis of past sales, the confectioner needs to have at least as many standard as deluxe packages available. How many bags of each mixture should he package to maximize his revenue? bags of standard bags of deluxe
A zookeeper has a walrus with a nutritional deficiency. She wants to make sure the walrus consumes at least 2700 mg of iron, 2400 mg of vitamin B-1, and 1800 mg of vitamin B-2, One Maxivite pill contains 500 mg of iron, 200 mg of vitamin B-1, and 100 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.05. One Healthovite pill provides 100 mg of iron, 150 mg of vitamin B-1, and 150 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.06. Complete parts (a)-(c) below. (a) What combination of Maxivite and Healthovite pills will meet the walrus's requirement at lowest cost? What is the lowest cost? Set up the linear programming problem.
