After taking a nutrition class, a big Annie’s® Mac and Cheese fan decides to improve the levels of protein and fiber in her favorite lunch by adding broccoli and canned chicken. The nutritional information for the foods referred to in this exercise are given in the table below.
Nutrition Information per Serving | ||||
Nutrient | Mac and Cheese | Broccoli | Chicken | Shells |
Calories | 270 | 51 | 70 | 260 |
Protein (g) | 10 | 5.4 | 15 | 9 |
Fiber (g) | 2 | 5.2 | 0 | 5 |
- a. [M] If she wants to limit her lunch to 400 calories but get 30 g of protein and 10 g of fiber, what proportions of servings of Mac and Cheese, broccoli, and chicken should she use?
- b. [M] She found that there was too much broccoli in the proportions from part (a), so she decided to switch from classical Mac and Cheese to Annie's Whole Wheat Shells and White Cheddar. What proportions of servings of each food should she use to meet the same goals as in part (a)?

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardHow much mulch will you need to cover a rectangular garden that is 20 feet by 30 feet with a 3-inch layer of mulch?

Chipotle and other relatively new healthier menu choices than the traditional fast food outlets like McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burger King, etc. fast casual chains like Shake Shack, Potbelly and Five Guys typically promote themselves as having The recommended daily calorie intake for most adults is 1,600 to 2,400. The histogram below shows the calories in approximately 3,000 meals ordered from Chipotle on Grubhub. Many burritos and burrito bowls end up with 900 to 1,000 calories. Recommended dietary allowance 2,000 calories 6% of meals 5% This small bump is 4% mostly from sides of chips and guacamole. 3% 2% About 2 percent of meals had more than 2,000 calories. 1% 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 1,400 1,600 1,800 2,000 2,200 2,400 2,600 2,800 While the histogram not perfectly symmetric (there is mild right skewness), it is close enough to being symmetric and bell-shaped to justify using the 68-95-99.7 rule.…arrow_forward
