How do you answer this numbers 4-6? I'm having a hard time understanding this lesson which is Linear Programming because our prof barely taught us anything about it.

Transcribed Image Text:Linear Programming:
A craftswoman produces two products: floor lamps and table lamps. Production of one
floor lamp requires 75 minutes of her labor and materials that cost P250. Production of
one table lamp requires 50 minutes of labor, and the materials cost P200. The
craftswoman wishes to work no more than 40 hours each week, and her financial
resources allow her to pay no more than P9,000 for materials each week. She can sell
as many lamps as she can make and her profit is P390 per floor lamp and P330 per
table lamp.
1. Identify the variables.
2. Set up the objective function.
3. Give the constraints in mathematical expression.
4. Graph the constraints and identify the solution.
5. How many floor lamps and how many table lamps should she make each week to
maximize her weekly profit?
6. What is that maximum profit per week?

- Could you help me with this exercise, the subject is linear programming by the graphical method, please.A shoemaker makes boots, men's and women's shoes, and can make 600 pairs per unit of time. Theshoemaker made 150 pairs for men and 240 pairs for women, and he can sell at most 100 pairs for men and 300 pairs for women.How many pairs of each type must he make to make the maximum profit, if the profit on boots is $3.00 per pair.on boots is $3.00 per pair; on men's shoes $2.50 per pair; and on women's shoes $1.75 per pair?arrow_forwardYou know you have 5 pairs of sock in the laundry basket. You want a pair of matched socks but can’t see any socks. You reach into the basket and pull out socks. What’s the maximum of number of socks that you will have to pull out in order to guarantee that you will get a matching pair of socks?arrow_forwardKevin is an auto mechanic. He spends 2 hours when he replaces the shocks on a car and 2 hours when he replaces the brakes. He works no more than 54 hours a week. He routinely completes at least 2 shocks replacements and 6 brake replacements a week. If he charges $500 for labor replacing shocks and $300 in labor for replacing brakes, how many jobs of each type should he complete a week to maximize his income? Kevin should do enter your response here shock replacements and enter your response here brake replacements every week to maximize his weekly income.arrow_forward
- Linear programming modelarrow_forwardA tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second. Take out a piece of paper and read the above problem context again. You will prepare your written work and solutions on your own paper and upload it and the end of this question. Complete the problem solving process by: i. reading and re-reading the problem to identify the quantities in the situation; ii. making a drawing to represent the relevant quantities in the situation; iii. and defining the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. a. Define a function f to determine the distance of the tortoise from the finish line in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start of the race.

The product development group at Landon Corporation has been working on a new computer software product that has the potential to capture a large market share. Through outside sources, Landon's management learned that a competitor is working to introduce a similar product. As a result, Landon's top management increased its pressure on the product development group. The group's leader turned to PERT/CPM as an aid to scheduling the activities remaining before the new product can be brought to the market. The activity time estimates (in weeks) are listed in the following table.
