is the constrain correct?
shouldnt be like: a+b+c+d+e =500, a+b+c+d+e =600 , a+b+c+d+e =2100 ?
because in the question the minimum requirement is given which is 500 , 600 and 2100.
and he wants the cheapest combination that meet the minimum requirements.
if he says must contain a minimum requirements that will be like the solution in the pic.
am i right ? correct me pls
is the constrain correct? shouldnt be like:
Goal Formulate the real-life problem as Linear Programming model, and solve it using software Group 1 1. The table below shows (i) the nutritional contents of five foods in grams per 100g (ii) their costs per 100g, and (iii) the minimum weekly requirements for an adult (in grams). Protein Fat Cost (5) Carbohydrate 56 Wholemeal bread 1 0.08 Margarine 84 0.16 Cheese 25 35 0.38 Breakfast cereal 10 2 77 0.24 Diet snack bar 10 49 0.40 500 600 2100 Weekly adult requirements (g) Using Excel's Solver, find the cheapest combination of foods that will meet the weekly adult minimum requirements.
