In order to ensure optimal health (and thus accurate test results), a lab technician needs to feed the rabbits a daily diet containing a minimum of 24 grams (g) of fat, 36 g of carbohydrates, and 4 g of protein. But the rabbits should be fed no more than five ounces of food a day. Rather than order rabbit food that is custom-blended, it is cheaper to order Food X and Food Y, and blend them for an optimal mix. Food X contains 8 g of fat, 12 g of carbohydrates, and 2 g of protein per ounce, and costs $0.20 per ounce. Food Y contains 12 g of fat, 12 g of carbohydrates, and 1 g of protein per ounce, at a cost of $0.30 per ounce. What is the optimal blend?

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of using a fungus to control the spread of an insect that destroystrees. The researchers will create four different concentrations of fungus mixtures: 0 milliliters per liter (ml/L),1.25 ml/L, 2.5 ml/L, and 3.75 ml/L. An equal number of the insects will be placed into 20 individual containers.The group of insects in each container will be sprayed with one of the four mixtures, and the researchers willrecord the number of insects that are still alive in each container one week after spraying. (c) Describe how the treatments can be randomly assigned to the experimental units so that each treatmenthas the same number of units.

Based on Angel et al. (2003). A fertilizer companyis trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix thatprovides desired amounts of nutrients. The mix ismade by combining the following fertilizers: SSA,SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The mix cannot contain both GUR and TSP. The percentage ofpotassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na)and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed in the fileP06_88.xlsx. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% Kand 26% Na. The mix must contain at least 600 poundsof K, 550 pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 poundsof Na, and 750 pounds of P. The mix cannot containboth GUR and TSP, because if both are present in themix, the affect of other fertilizers is nullified. The costper pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is listed in thesame file. Develop a linear integer model to find theminimum-cost fertilizer mixture that meets the statedchemical requirements.
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.

Quality dog food requires a necessary amount of protein to promote healthy functions. The industry standard requires at least 25% protein in the food to be considered "high quality". The local humane society had a large quantiy of two brands of dog food donated recently. Brand A dog food contains 27% protein and Brand B contains 21% protein.Each week the humane society need to create a 205 lb mixture of food to feed the shelter dogs. How much of each brand should they mix together to create a high-quality mixture consisting of 25% protein?
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?1%4.5%9%18%
Ross White recently opened a landscaping division , that advises home owners and businesses on landscaping and lawn maintenance. The operations manager, Ms. Priya Johnson, is trying to determine the amount of fertilizer that should be applied to a particular lawn in a residential area in San Juan. Ms. Johnson’s analysis has determined that the lawn needs at least 60kg of Nitrogen, 24kg of Phosphorous compounds and 40kg of Potassium compounds for the current season. After checking nearby home and garden centres, Ms. Johnson has found that one of the suppliers is currently having a sale on packaged fertilizer. One type on sale called Xynis, is a 20-5-20 mixture, containing 20% Nitrogen, 5% phosphorous compounds and 20% potassium compounds. It sells at $4 for a 20kg bag. The other type called Yield-all is a 10-10-5 mixture (10% Nitrogen, 10% phosphorous compounds and 5% potassium compounds) selling for $5 for a 40kg bag. Ms. Johnson would like to know how many bags of each type she…
It is convenient to add salt to butter, produced in a continuous butter-making machine, by adding a slurry of salt with water containing 60% of salt and 40% of water by weight. If the final composition of the butter is to be 15.8% moisture and 1.4% salt, estimate the original moisture content of the butter prior to salting.
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 uni/.kg of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin C. It costs 50.00 pesos per kg to purchase Food A and 70.00 pesos per kg to purchase Food B. Formulate this problem as a linear programming problem to minimize the cost of such a mixture.
The body needs vitamin D in order to use calcium. An experiment is designed to study the effects of calcium and vitamin D supplements on the bones of first-year college students. The outcome measure is the total body bone mineral content (TBBMC), a measure of bone health. Two doses of calcium will be used: 0 and 300 milligrams per day (mg/day). The doses of vitamin D will be 0 and 150 international units (IU) per day. The calcium and vitamin D will be given in a single tablet. All tablets, including those with no calcium and no vitamin D, will look identical. Subjects for the stud 20 d0n.man.
