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:

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 goal is to get at least 10% of daily calories from polyunsaturated fats as are found in various nuts, oils, and fish. One serving of walnuts (about 15 pieces) has about 20 g of polyunsaturated fat. Each fat gram has 9 calories. About what percent of daily calories does one serving of walnuts provide, assuming a 2,000-calorie diet?

You would like to make a nutritious meal of eggs, edamame, and elbow macaroni. The meal should provide at least 30 g of carbohydrates, at least 20 g of protein, and no more than 60 g of fat. An egg contains 2 g of carbohydrates, 17 g of protein, and 14 g of f A serving of edamame contains 12 g of carbohydrates, 12 g of protein, and 6 g of fat. A serving of elbow macaroni contains 43 g of carbohydrates, 8 g of protein, and 1 g of fat. An egg costs $2, a serving of edamame costs $5, and a serving of elbow macaroni costs $3. Formulate a linear optimization model that could be used to determine the number of servings of egg, edamame, and elbow macaroni that should be in the meal in order to meet the nutrition requirements at the minimal cost. a) Define the decision variables. b) Write down the objective function. c) Write down the constraints.type solution pls

A diet supplies 0.8 grams of calcium per day, in addition to the nutrients listed in the table to the right. The amounts of calcium per unit (100 g) supplied by the three ingredients in the diet are as follows: 1.25 g from nonfat milk, 0.18 g from soy flour, and 0.8 g from whey. Another ingredient in the diet mixture is isolated soy protein, which provides the following nutrients in each unit: 78 g of protein, 0 g of carbohydrate, 3.6 g of fat, and 0.15 g of calcium. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. 0.42 X₁ x2 X3 11 34 45 3 0.8 CIES X4 (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element.)

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

A company makes three components for sale. The components are processed on two machines: a shaper and a grinder. The time required. (in minutes) on each machine are as follows: Component Shaper Time Grinder Time A 6 4 B 4 5 C 4 2 The shaper is available for 7200 min. and grinder for 6600 min. No more than 200 units of component C can be sold, but up to 1000 units of each of the other components can be sold. In fact the company has orders for 600 units of component A that must be satisfied. The profit contributions for components A, B and C are $8, $6 and $9 respectively. Formulate the problem for deciding the production quantities. Solve the problem using Excel Solver. Run the sensitivity analysis report in Excel Solver. What are the objective coefficient ranges (Range of Optimality) for each coefficient. Interpret these. What are the dual prices for each constraint? Interpret these. What are the right-hand side ranges (Range of Feasibility)? Interpret them. If more time is…

An agricultural company markets two types of food compounds for animals. The first contains 4 units of nutrient A and 2 units of nutrient B, the second contains 2 units of the prime nutrient A and 3 units of the nutrient prima B. You want to achieve a diet that provides at least 20 units of A and 18 units of B. If the cost of one unit of the first compound is $2 USD and the second is $2.5 USD, calculate how much of each type of compound must be taken for a minimum cost.
