A pharmacist is managing inventory of an over-the-counter (OTC) product. Over the past 30 days, the pharmacy has sold 18 bottles of the OTC product. A case of the OTC product contains 16 bottles. How many days should one case of this OTC product last if future sales follow the same pattern as past sales?
The following information will be used to answer this question AND the next one.A university math department offers courses in College Algebra, Finite Mathematics, and Applied Calculus. Each section of College Algebra is worth 3 credits and has a capacity of 35 students.Each section of Finite Math is worth 4 credits and has a capacity of 30 students.Each section of Applied Calculus is worth 4 credits and has a capacity of 25 students. Last semester, the department offered a total of 96 credits and all the classes were filled to capacity. Seven hundred ninety students were enrolled, and no student took more than one of the three courses. The department offered half as many sections of Applied Calculus as Finite Math. Set up a system of equations for this problem wherec represents the number of sections of College Algebra offered,f represents the number of sections of Finite Math offered, anda represents the number of sections of Applied Calculus offered.

A farmer in Georgia has a 200-acre farm on which to plant watermelons and cantaloupes. Every acre planted with watermelons requires 50 gallons of water per day. Each acre planted with watermelons must also be prepared for planting with 20 pounds of fertilizer. Every
acre planted with cantaloupes requires 75 gallons of water per day. Each acre planted with cantaloupes must also be prepared for planting with 15 pounds of fertilizer. The farmer estimates that it will take 2 hours of labor to harvest each acre planted with watermelons
and 2.5 hours to harvest each acre planted with cantaloupes. He believes that watermelons will sell for about $3 each, and cantaloupes will sell for about $1 each. Every acre planted with watermelons is expected to yield 90 salable units. Every acre planted with
cantaloupes is expected to yield 300 salable units. The farmer can pump about 14,000 gallons of water per day for irrigation purposes from a shallow well. He can buy as much fertilizer as he needs at…

- U.S. Trucking pays its drivers $40,000 per year, while American Trucking pays its drivers $38,000 per year. For both firms, truck drivers average 240,000 miles per year. Truck driving jobs are the same regardless of which firm one works for, except that U.S. Trucking gives each of its trucks a safety inspection ever 50,000 miles, while American Trucking gives each of its trucks a safety inspection every 36,000 miles. This difference in safety inspection rates results in a different rate of fatal accidents between the two companies. In particular, one driver for U.S Trucking dies in an accident every 12 million miles while one driver for American Trucking dies in an accident every 15 million miles.

The three most popular items in Cuba are denim jeans, CD players, and CDs of U.S. rock groups. The weight and profit (in U.S. dollars) of each items are as follows. Items Weight (lb) Profit ($)1. Denim jeans 2 902. CD players 3 1503. Compact discs 2 30 Juan wants to determine the combination of items he should pack in his duffel bag that will maximize his profit. The problem is an example of a type of integer programming known as a "knapsack" problem. Formulate and solve this problem.arrow_forward
- A clothing manufacturer makes trousers,skirts and blouses.Each trouser requires 20 minutes of cutting time,60 minutes of sewing time and 5 minutes of packaging time.Each skirt requires 15 minutes of cutting time,30 minutes of sewing time and 12 minutes of packaging time.Each blouse requires 10 minutes of cutting time, 24 minutes of sewing time and 6 minutes of packaging time. The amount of time available for cutting,sewing and packaging is 115 hours, 280 hours and 65 hours respectively. Using either the Inverse Method or the Cramers Rule, determine how many of each type of clothing should be made to use all available labour hours?arrow_forwardTwo children are painting.

- An angler fishes half of their time at East Delaney Lake, one quarter of their time at South Delaney Lake, and one quarter of their time at North Delaney Lake. Each lake has only two types of trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout. In East Delaney Lake, 6% of the trout are brown trout. In South Delaney Lake 64% of the trout are brown trout. In North Delaney Lake 69% of the trout are brown trout. Assume that any individual trout fish has the same chance of being caught by an angler spending time at that lake. Given that the angler caught a brown trout, what is the conditional probability that they caught the trout on North Delaney Lake? Use three decimal place accuracy.arrow_forwardEthan sold exactly eight TVs this quarter. Frank sold exactly twice as many TVs as Gina. Gabriel sold more TVs than Ethan.
