Exercises 33 and 34 refer to the following situation: Jackie, Karla, and Lori are planning to divide the half vegetarian—half meatball foot-long sub sandwich shown in Fig. 3-22 among themselves using the lone- divider method. Jackie likes the meatball and vegetarian parts equally well; Karla is a strict vegetarian and does not eat meat at all; Lori likes the meatball part twice as much as the vegetarian part. (Assume that when the sandwich is cut, the cuts are always made perpendicular to the length of the sandwich. You can describe different shares of the sandwich using the ruler and interval notation—for example,
Figure 3-22
Suppose that Lori ends up being the divider.
a. Describe how Lori should cut the sandwich into three shares. Label the three shares
b. Which of the three shares are fair shares to Jackie?
c. Which of the three shares are fair shares to Karla?
d. Suppose that Lori gets

- In Exercises 35 and 36, find the distance between the parallel lines. [xy]=[11]+s[23]and[xy]=[54]+t[23]arrow_forwardA supermall produces two kinds of clothing: Clothing A and Clothing B. For materials, the supermall has 1200 sq. me of cotton fabric and 1050 sq. meter of polyester fabric. To produce Clothing A, it requires 6 sq. m of cotton fabric and 4 sq. m of polyester fabric. On the other hand, Clothing B's production requires 3 sq. m of cotton and 1 sq. m of polyester fabric. If Clothing A can be sold for $200 per set and Clothing B can be sold for $150 per set, what is the number of Clothing A and Clothing B that the supermall must produce to obtain a maximum sales? Use linear programming method.arrow_forwardA clothing manufacturer makes trousers, skirts and blouses. Each trouser requires 20 minutes of cutting time, 60 minutes of sewing time and 5 minutes of packaging time. Each skirt requires 15 minutes of cutting time, 30 minutes of sewing time and 12 minutes of packaging time. Each blouse requires 10 minutes of cutting time,24 minutes of sewing time and 6 minutes of packaging time. The amount of time available for cutting, sewing and packaging is 115 hours, 280 hours and 65 hours respectively. Using either the Kramers rule method, determine how many of each type of clothing should be made to use all available labour hours?arrow_forward
- The North part of the city has two perfectly circular and concentric ring roads (see figure below), the outer ring road (OR) being twice as long as the inner ring road (IR). There are also four (straight line) chord roads from E1, the east end point of OR to N2, the north end point of IR; from N1, the north end point of OR to W2, the west end point of IR; from W1, the west end point of OR, to S2, the south end point of IR; and from S1 the south end point of OR to E2, the east end point of IR. Find the ratio of the sum of lengths of all chord roads to the length of outer ring road?arrow_forwardace novelty manufactures giant pants, Saint Bernards, and big bird. each giant panda requires 1.5 yd^2 of plush, 30 ft^3 of staffing, and 5 pieces of trim; each Saint Bernard requires 2 yd^2 of plush, 35 ft^3 of stuffing, and 8 pieces of trim; and each big bird requires 2.5 yd^2 of plush, 25 ft^3 of stuffing, and 15 pieces of trim. If 4,700 yd^2 of plush, 65,000 ft^3 of stuffing, and 23,000 pieces of trim are available, how many of each of the stuffed animals should the company manufacture if all the material is to be used ? give two specific options.arrow_forwardWhen the reduced echelon form of A is R, find the conditions under which C(A) and C(R) will be the same.arrow_forward
- Give solution of part a and b.arrow_forwardFarmer S. Unkist has a fruit grove consisting of lemons, bananas, and watermelons along a straight moat. To prevent thieves from stealing his fruit while at the same time make sure the fruit do not mix before they are processed, he plans to fence in each fruit plot using identical rectangular enclosures. The side along the moat needs no fence because the moat is infested with man eating crocodiles as shown below. If he has 1200 yards of fence, what should be the dimensions of each enclosure if the total area of the grove is to be maximized?

How much more profit could be attained if Highland rented another 50 sq. ft. of floor space? How much should Highland be willing to pay for this extra footage? How much more profit could be attained if marketing changed their requirement so that only 40% of all appliances in stock be radios (keeping the floor space at 200 sq. ft.)? How much more profit could be attained if Highland was willing to have $3500 worth of capital tied-up (keeping the floor space at 200 sq. ft. and the marketing requirement at 40%)? How should Highland decide if it is worthwhile to increase this value?arrow_forward
