- Agriculture A mixture of 6 gallons of chemical A, 8 gallons of chemical B, and 13 gallons of chemical C is required to kill a destructive crop insect. Commercial spray X contains 1,2, and 2 parts, respectively, of these chemicals. Commercial spray Y contains only Chemical C. Commercial spray Z contains A, B, and C in equal amounts. How much of each type of commercial spray is needed to get the desired mixture?arrow_forwardOptimal Labor A manufacturer has two different factories that produce three grades of steel: structural steel, rail steel, and pipe steel. They must produce 32 tons of structural, 26 tons of rail, and 30 tons of pipe steel to fill an order. The table shows the number of employees at each factory and the amounts of steel they produce hourly. How many hours should each factory operate to fill the orders at the minimum labor (in employee-hours)? What is the minimum labor?arrow_forwardShipping TelevisionsAn electronics discount chain has a sale on certain brand of 60-in. high-definition television set. The chain has stores in Santa Monica and El Toro and warehouses in Long Beach and Pasadena. To satisfy rush orders, 15 sets must be shipped from the warehouses to the Santa Monica store, and 19 must be shipped to the El Toro store. The cost of shipping a set is 5 from Long Beach to Santa Monica, 6 from Long Beach to El Toro, 4 from Pasadena to Santa Monica, and 5.50 from Pasadena to El Toro. If the Long Beach warehouse has 24 sets and the Pasadena warehouse has 18 sets in stock, how many sets should be shipped from each warehouse to each store to fill the orders at a minimum shipping cost?arrow_forward
