Question 1188907: Please help me solve this.
A city council voted to conduct a study on inner-city community problems. A nearby university was contacted to provide a maximum of 40 sociologists and research assistants. Each sociologist will spend 10 hours per week collecting data in the field and 30 hours per week analyzing data in the research center. Each research assistant will spend 30 hours per week in the field and 10 hours per week in the research center. The minimum weekly labor-hour requirements are 280 hours in the field and 360 hours in the research center. The cost per week for each sociologist and research assistant are Php 5000 and Php 3000 respectively.
A. How many sociologists and research assistants should be hired to meet the weekly laborhour requirements and minimize the weekly cost? What is the weekly cost?
B. Repeat part A if the council decides that they should not hire more sociologists than research assistants.

Question 1189015: A small petroleum company owns two reneries. Renery 1 costs $20,000 per day to operate, and it can produce
400 barrels of high-grade oil, 300 barrels of medium-grade oil, and 200 barrels of low-grade oil each day. Renery
2 is newer and more modern. It costs $25,000 per day to operate, and it can produce 300 barrels of high-grade
oil, 400 barrels of medium-grade oil, and 500 barrels of low-grade oil each day. The company has orders totaling
25,000 barrels of high-grade oil, 27,000 barrels of medium-grade oil, and 30,000 barrels of low-grade oil. How
many days should it run each renery to minimize its costs and still rene enough oil to meet its orders?

Question 1189298: . In testing an experimental diet for hens, it was determined that the average live
weight w (in grams) of a hen was statistically a linear function of the number of days d after
the diet began, where 0 ≤ d ≤ 50. Suppose the average weight of a hen beginning the diet
was 40 grams and 25 days later it was 675 grams.
(a) Determine w as a linear function of d. Clearly illustrate your steps. (20 marks)
(b) Sketch the graph of this linear function by hand. Clearly indicate the points you
used to locate this line, as well as the y-intercept of the line. (30 marks)
