Question 1171012
<br>
{{{1200+50m <= 10000}}}
{{{50m <= 8800}}}
{{{m <= 176}}}<br>
The maximum weight of the truck on the bridge limits the amount of cement to at most 176 cubic meters.<br>
The cost effectiveness constraint means that the amount of cement in each load must be at least 100 cubic meters.<br>
ANSWERS:<br>
The number of cubic meters of cement can be any number from 100 to 176, inclusive.<br>
The weight of a truck with 100 cubic meters of cement is 1200+50(100) = 6200 pounds.  The weight of a truck with 176 cubic meters of cement we already know is 10000 pounds. So the possible weights of the trucks are from 6200 pounds to 10000 pounds, inclusive.<br>
