Textbook Question
Chapter 7.1, Problem 34E
Nutrition The following table gives the calories, fat, and carbohydrates per ounce for three brands of cereal, as well as the total amount of calories, fat, and carbohydrates required for a special diet.
To find the number of ounces of each brand that should be combined to give the required totals of calories, fat, and carbohydrates, let x represent the number of ounces of All Bran, y represent the number of ounces of Sugar Frosted Flakes, and z represent the number of ounces of Natural Mixed Grain.
- a. Use the information in the table to write a system of three equations.
- b. Solve the system to find the amount of each brand of cereal that will give the necessary nutrition.

- Optimal 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_forwardAgriculture 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_forwardRaw Materials: In Exercises 63 and 64, find the numbers of bags of potting soil that a company can produce for seedlings, general potting, and hardwood plants with the given amounts of raw materials.

- Grade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A4 points B3 points C2 points D1 points F0 points For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit earns 43=12 grade points and grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A student’s grade point average (GPA) for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)/8=3.375 . (a) Find a formula for a GPA of a student who earns a grade A in a units of course work, B in b units; C in c units, D in d units, and F in f units. (b) Find a GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two-units courses. B in one 4-unit course, and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardCholesterol 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_forward
