A candy manufacturer makes two types of special candy, say A and B. Candy A consists of equal parts of dark chocolate and carame

l and Candy B consists of two parts of dark chocolate and one part of walnut. The company has in stock 430 kilograms of caramel, 360 kilograms of dark chocolate, and 210 kilograms of walnuts. The company sells Candy A for P285 and Candy B for P260 per kilograms. How much of each candy should the manufacturer produce to maximize profit?

If we let x as candy A
y as candy B
a as dark chocolate in candy a
b as dark chocolate in candy b
c as caramel
d as walnut
P as profit
we have the equations:
a + c = x
2b + d = y
a + 2b ≤ 360
c ≤ 430
d ≤ 210
P = 285x + 260y

This is an optimization problem which involves linear programming. It can be solved by graphical method or by algebraic solution.
P = 285(a + c) + 260(2b +d)
If we assume a = b
Then a = 120, 2b = 240
P = 285(120 + 120) + 260(240 + 120)
P = 162000
candy A should be = 240
candy B should be = 360

The heights of fully grown sugar maple trees are normally distributed, with a mean of 87.5 feet and a standard deviation of 6.25
Julli [10]

Answer:

20.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 87.5, the standard deviation (sd) 6.25 and the sample size (n) = 12

They ask us for P (x <86)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (86 - 87.5) / (6.25 / (12 ^ 1/2))

z = -0.83

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <-0.83) = 0.2033

The probability is 20.33%

A painting crew reported that a job is 3/5 completed what is the fraction of the job remains to be done
HACTEHA [7]

Hi!

<h3>So we need to subtract 3/5 from a whole fraction. (5/5)</h3>

\frac{5}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}

<h2>The answer is 2/5</h2>

Hope this helps! :)
