A computer aided drafting (CAD) instructor at a community college wants to use his rapid prototype machine to produce demo items for a seminar on engineering technology. He plans to bring two different types, a Golden Ruler and a Fibonacci Gauge. He will bring at least 20 of each. he has 45 cubic inches of filler and 95 cubic inches of material available to make the demos, but only has 86 hours of free time to run the machine. he is able to save time by running the demos in batches. Use the information in the table to determine how many of each demo item he needs to bring while minimizing the total cost. Set up but do not solve.
Demo Type |
Material (in3/batch) | Filler (in3/batch) | Batch Time (hrs) | Batch size | Batch cost ($) |
Golden Ruler | 10 | 3 | 7 | 8 | 22 |
Fibonacci Gauge | 7.5 | 5 | 8.5 | 10 | 20 |
Answer: det a number of Golden Ruler batches, Y = number of fibonacci hauges, our job is to minimize total cost, 2= 22x+2y Under the constraints 10x +7.54 <45 (Material) 3x + 5y {as (filler) 7x+8.54 286 hours) x>, and y=2 (He needs at least 3 batches to produce a mininum of 20 Golden Ruless, at least 2 batches of fibonacci Ganges, also to meet the minimum of 20). 402 + 754 $ 45 84 1120, 26,667) 3 x + 2 y = 95 hot + Body = 86 A 124,0) -30 -20 o 10 20 30 yo tot
