The dietitian responsibility is to attempt to determine a nutritious menu for the team. The team managers and coaches have set the following nutritional guidelines for each serving: Between 1,500 and 2,000 calories At least 20 but no more than 60 g of fat At least 40 g of carbohydrates At least 30 g of protein At least 5 mg of iron No more than 30 mg of cholesterol . The dietitian needs to select the menu from seven basic food items, as follows, with the nutritional contribution per pound and the cost as given: Fat Calories Iron (per lb.) (mg/lb.) 520 4.4 Protein (g/lb.) Carbohydrate (g/lb.) Cholesterol (mg/lb.) Cost ($/lb.) (g/lb.) Chicken 17 30 180 0.8 | Fish 500 3.3 85 5 90 3.7 Ground beef 860 0.3 82 0 75 350 2.3 Dried beans 600 3.4 10 30 3 0 0.9 Lettuce 50 0.5 6 0 0 0 0.75 Potatoes 460 2.2 10 70 0 0 0.4 Milk (2%) 240 0.2 16 22 10 20 0.83 The management wants to select a menu to meet the nutritional guidelines while minimizing the total cost per serving. a) Formulate a linear programming model for this problem (The mathematical model can be either typed or handwritten.
