Production data for Streaks is shown. Using linear programming, the maximum number of running shoes that the plant can make is 250.

Monthly Product
Running Soccer Capacity (Hours)
Design 5 3 750
Manufacture 1.5 1.5 400
Profit per unit 20 16
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Production data for Streaks is shown. Using linear programming, if running shoes are represented by R and soccer shoes by S, 5R + 3S < 750 is the correct constraint equation for design.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: The maximum number of running shoes that can be made is found by dividing the maximum number of hours that can be spent in design by the number of design hours that it takes for each design, or 750 5 = 150.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The expression 5R + 3S < 750 is the correct constraint equation for design because it correctly places each variable. The company has 750 hours of capacity that can be split up in different ways. The constraint shows that the design process takes longer for running shoes than soccer shoes.
