Question 2 (40 points) Rohan is putting together a high-energy trail mix for his next hiking trip. At the grocery store, he can buy ingredients by the ounce for his mix. The items cost per ounce, for , respectively. There are nutritional components that Rohan must consider when making his mix. (An example of a nutritional component is protein.) The mix should include at least and no more than total grams of nutritional component , for . One ounce of ingredient has grams of nutritional component , for all , . Formulate a linear program to help Rohan decide the composition of his mix that minimizes the cost. (You need to write all the parameters, decision variables, objective, and constraints and explain/describe EACH of them in your answer.)

Question 1 (30 points) Rohan is putting together a high-energy trail mix for his next hiking trip. At the grocery store, he can buy three items, peanuts, raisins, and chocolate candies by the ounce for his mix. The items cost $0.6, $0.1, and $0.2 per ounce, respectively. Each ounce of item provides 10, 15, and 17 g grams of protein, and 20, 7, and 12 of sugar, respectively. His mix should include at least 300 g of protein and 50 g of sugar. It should not exceed 70 g of sugar. Formulate a linear program to help Rohan decide the composition of his mix that minimizes cost. (You need to write all the decision variables, objective, and constraints and explain/describe EACH of them in your answer. You do NOT need to write out the parameters in this numerical example.)

Question 1 (30 points) Rohan is putting together a high-energy trail mix for his next hiking trip. At the grocery store, he can buy three items, peanuts, raisins, and chocolate candies by the ounce for his mix. The items cost $0.5, $0.2, and $0.3 per ounce, respectively. Each ounce of item provides 10, 15, and 35 grams of protein, and 20, 5, and 6 g of sugar, respectively. His mix should include at least 250 g of protein and 200 g of sugar. It should not exceed 400 g of sugar. Formulate a linear program to help Rohan decide the composition of his mix that minimizes cost. (You need to write all the decision variables, objective, and constraints and explain/describe EACH of them in your answer. You do NOT need to write out the parameters in this numerical example.)
