A moving van ramp is 72 inches in length. The top of the ramp can be adjusted to any height up to 20 inches. The ramp is set so that the distance across the ground from the bottom of the ramp to the ground underneath the top of the ramp is 70 inches. What is the height of the ramp above the ground? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of an inch. 2.0 inches
10.0 inches

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
