35. Calorie Expenditure Lauren Simko, a fitness trainer, has an exercise regimen that includes running, biking, and walking. She has no more than 15 hours per week to devote to exercise, including at most 3 hours running. She wants to walk at least twice as many hours as she bikes. According to a website, a 130-pound person like Lauren will burn on average 531 calories per hour running, 472 calories per hour biking, and 354 calories per hour walking. How many hours per week should Lauren spend on each exercise to maximize the number of calories she burns? What is the maximum number of calories she will burn? (Hint: Write the constraint involving walking and biking in the form ≤ 0.) Source: NutriStrategy.com.

- Asap. I will downvote if found it incorrect.arrow_forwardA carpenter's enterprise produces tables and chairs. For the construction of a table, 30 meters of wood and 5 hours of labor are needed. For the construction of a chair, 20 meters of wood and 10 hours of labor are also required. The enterprise has a workforce of 110 hours with a 300-meter board in hand. In addition, the profit from the sale of a desk is 60 TL, and the profit from the sale of a chair is 20 TL. The goal of the enterprise is to achieve maximum profit. Accordingly, how many tables and chairs should the carpenter's enterprise produce. Express the problem as a linear programming model.arrow_forwardA Toot can be made in 30 minutes and has a feather attached to it. A Wheet requires 15 minutes, has two feathers, and is sprinkled with 0.5 oz of sequin powder. A Honk requires 30 minutes, has three feathers, and one oz. of sequin powder. The net profit is $0.40 per Toot, $0.50 per Wheet, and $0.80 per Honk. The following resources are available: 80 hrs of labor, 360 feathers, and 90 oz. of sequin powder. Determine the quantity of each type of noisemaker that maximizes profit.arrow_forward

Nutrition scientists can calculate the amount of weight gain that would be associated with a given increase in calories. In one study, 16 nonobese adults, aged 25 to 36 years, were fed 1000 calories per day in excess of the calories needed to maintain a stable body weight. The subjects maintained this diet for 8 weeks, so they consumed a total of 56,000 extra calories. According to theory, 3500 extra calories will translate into a weight gain of 1 pound. Therefore, we expect each of these subjects to gain 56,000/3500 = 16 pounds (lb). Here are the weights before and after the 8-week period, expressed in kilograms (kg).
