Linear Programming Questions and Answers
Math
Linear ProgrammingSometimes linear systems are expressed in three variables. These can also be solved using linear combinations, but you need three equations to solve for all three variables. In this problem, there are three variables.
Ed decides to include more fruit in his diet. He goes to the grocery store over the weekend and buys 6 apples, 6 oranges, and 6 avocados. The total cost is $19.50.
Ed finishes the apples very quickly, and has some leftover avocado. The following weekend he buys 12 apples, 2 oranges, and 1 avocado. This time he pays just $9.50.
The following week, Ed reads an article on the benefits of avocado, so over the weekend he buys 5 avocados along with 2 apples and 4 oranges. His total this time is $14.
Assume that Ed pays a unit price rather than a price per pound for the apples, oranges, and avocados.

Linear ProgrammingThe prices of a random sample of 24 new motorcycles have a sample standard deviation of $3626. Assume the sample is from a normally distributed population.
Construct a confidence interval for the population variance σ² and the population standard deviation 6. Use a 90% level of confidence. Interpret the results.
What is the confidence interval for the population variance σ²?

Linear ProgrammingA family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 40 gallons of gas and the second
consumed 30 gallons of gas. The two cars drove a combined total of 2600 miles, and the sum of their fuel
efficiencies was 75 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiencies of each of the cars that week?
Math
Linear ProgrammingSuppose in one year, total revenues from digital sales of pop/rock, tropical (salsa/merengue/cumbia/bachata), and urban (reggaeton) Latin music in a certain country amounted to $21 million. Pop/rock music brought in twice as much as the other two categories combined and $11 million more than tropical music. How much revenue was earned from digital sales in each of the three categories?
pop/rock music $ million
tropical music $ million
urban Latin music $ million

Linear ProgrammingSystolic blood pressure is the higher number in a blood pressure reading. It is measured as the heart muscle contracts. Heather was with her grandfather when he had his blood pressure checked. The nurse told him that the upper limit of his systolic blood pressure is equal to half his age increased by 110.
a.a is the age in years, and p is the systolic blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Write an inequality to represent this situation.
b.Heather's grandfather is 76 years old. What is normal for his systolic blood pressure?
Math
Linear ProgrammingA sausage company makes two different kinds of hot dogs, regular and all-beef. Each pound of all-beef hot dogs requires 0.75 lb of beef and 0.2 lb of spices, and each pound of regular hot dogs requires 0.18 lb of beef, 0.3 lb of pork, and 0.2 lb of spices. Suppliers can deliver at most 1020 lb of beef, at most 600 lb of pork, and at least 500 lb of spices. If the profit is $1.85 on each pound of all-beef hot dogs and $1.00 on each pound of regular hot dogs, how many pounds of each should be produced to obtain maximum profit?
regular hot dogs 2000
all-beef hot dogs 880
What is the maximum profit? ✓lb lb

Linear ProgrammingA carpenter is building a rectangular table. He wants the perimeter of the tabletop to be no more than 28 feet. He also wants the length of the tabletop to be greater than or equal to the square of 2 feet less than its width. Create a system of inequalities to model the situation, where x represents the width of the tabletop and y represents the length of the tabletop. Then, use this system of inequalities to determine the viable solutions.
A Part of the solution region includes a negative width; therefore, not all solutions are viable for the given situation.
B. The entire solution region is viable.
C. Part of the solution region includes a negative length; therefore, not all solutions are viable for the given situation.
D. No part of the solution region is viable because the length and width cannot be negative.
