Concept explainers

Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 3.2, Problem 9E

Shipping A truck traveling from New York to Baltimore is to be loaded with two types of cargo. Each crate of cargo A is 4 cubic feet in volume, weighs 100 pounds, and earns $13 for the driver. Each crate of cargo B is 3 cubic feet in volume, weighs 200 pounds, and earns $9 for the driver. The truck can carry no more than 300 cubic feet of crates and no more than 10,000 pounds. Also, the number of crates of cargo B must be less than or equal to twice the number of crates of cargo A.

(a) Fill in the following chart.

A

B

Truck Capacity

Volume

Weight

Earnings

(b) Let x be the number of crates of cargo A and y the number of crates of cargo B. Referring to the chart, give the two inequalities that x and y must satisfy because of the truck’s capacity for volume and weight.

(c) Give the inequalities that x and y must satisfy because of the last sentence of the problem and also because x and y cannot be negative.

(d) Express the total earnings from carrying x crates of cargo A and y crates of cargo B.

(e) Graph the feasible set for the shipping problem.
