Question

5. Charming City Foods manufactures a snack bar by blending two ingredients: a nut mix and a granola mix. Information about the two ingredients (per ounce) is shown below Ingredient Nut Mi:x Granola Mix Cost In Dollars 0.90 0.50 Fat Grams 24 4 Calories 650 60 Protein Grams The company needs to develop a linear programming model whose solution would tell them how many ounces of each mix to put into the snack bar. The blend should contain no more than 1100 calories, at least 12 grams of protein, and no more than 32 grams of fat. In addition, at least one ounce of nut mix must be included in the blend. The objective is to minimize the total cost of a snack bar Formulate a linear programming model for the above situation by determining (a) The decision variables (b) Determine the objective function. What does it represent? (c) Determine all the constraints. Briefly describe what each constraint represents Note: Do NOT solve the problem after formulating
