Constraint: 0.75x1+0.45x2+0.90x3 ≤1500
Oven space
Space available 16.3.4.2 = 384ft^2 384.144=55296 in ^2
Space required for pizza: 14.14 = 196 ^2 inches
Space for slice of pizza; 196 ÷8 = 24.50 in ^2
Space for hot dog: 16 in ^2
Space for barbecue = 25 in ^2
Constraint 24.50x1+16x2+25x3 ≤55296

Maximize Z = 0.75 X1 + 1.05 X2 + 1.35 X3
Subject to 24.5 X1 + 16 X2 + 25 X3 ≤ 55296 0.75 X1 + 0.45 X2 + 0.90 X3 ≤ 1500 X1 - X2 - X3 ≥ 0 X2 - 2 X3 ≥ 0 X1≥ 0, X2≥ 0 and X3 ≥0
Solve the LPM -answer in QM for Windows solution
Based on the QM for Windows solution the optimum solution:
Pizza (X1) = 1250; Hotdog s(X2) = 1250 and Barbecue sandwiches (X3) = 0
Optimal solution value Z = $2250
Julia should stock 1250 slices of pizza, 1250 hot dogs and no barbecue sandwiches.
Maximum Profit = $2250. Maximum Profit | $ 2,250.00 | Booth Rent per game | $ (1,000.00) | Warming Oven 600 for total of 6 home games 600/6 =100 | $ (100.00) | Profit for the 1st Game | $

    In our problem for the week of special topics were are given a problem regarding achieving a best time to make grilled cheeses in a efficient manner in the shortest amount of time. The problem states; You need to make five grilled cheese sandwiches. You have a grill that is large enough to toast two sandwiches at a time. The sandwiches must be toasted one minute on each side. It takes 3 seconds to flip a sandwich and 5 seconds to take one off or put one on the grill. What is the shortest time needed to toast all five sandwiches? So with the information given we can conclude that the sandwiches have to be toasted at least 5 mins so it is obvious we cant get anything lower then 5 mins. Next we make an assumption that we can flip two sandwiches at the same time as well as take off and put on two sandwiches as well as take off two sandwiches all simultaneously. So the best way to solve this problem would be to first simpify the problem so that it is easier to see the soultion. So I decided to label the grill cheeses. Each side is denoted by A, B,C, D, E. So assuming the time starts for for the countdown when the two sandwiches are put on the Grill. Step 1: A B toasted one side 1 min =1min Step 2: Now Remove B and put C 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec( for removing B 5 sec + put C 5 sec+ flip A 3sec) Step 3 A C toasted on grill 1 min =1min Step 4: Now Remove A(completed) and put D 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec ( for removing A 5 sec + put C 5 sec+ flip C 3sec) Step 5 C D toasted on grill 1min =1min Step 6 (remove C(completed) ,put E, flip D) 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec Step 7 D E toasted on grill toasted 1 min =1min Step 8 remove D(completed), put B , flip E 5sec+5sec+3sec=13 sec Step 9 B E toasted on Grill 1 min =1min…

    Corey Camel Pow # 12

    • 544 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Process Doing the mini POW helped a lot with this one. Because knowing that Corey Camel can drop bananas on the way to the market is an important part, because of he couldn’t the answer would be an obvious zero. Since you can drop them I decided to drop 800 bananas at the 100 mile point. That way she can eat her 100 bananas that she needs to on her way there and still have another 100 to get back to her banana grove. When she gets there she’ll have 900 new bananas. The only problem is that she can only carry 1,000 bananas at a time. So she takes 1,000 bananas the rest of the way. This would leave her with 100 bananas. Then I realized that wasn’t the largest amount that she could sell. So I started to work backwards from 500 miles. I did this because 500 is half of 1,000. The only problem with 500 is that she would use 500 bananas to get there and wouldn’t be able to drop any bananas because she would have to use the last 500 bananas to get back. So I started to work with 400 miles. When she gets there she has 600 bananas to drop. But she needs 400 of those to go back. So she drops 200 bananas. When she comes back she has an additional 500 bananas. When she picks up the other 200 bananas she has 700 bananas. When she gets to the market she has 300 bananas because she had to eat 400 bananas on the way. I wasn’t sure if that was the largest amount of bananas so I tried the 300 mile point. So she would drop 400 bananas and go back she would come back and get to market with 300 bananas. Then I tried the 200 mile point. She would drop 700 bananas come back and get to market…
