Question

Consider a constraint that represents the use of an essential nutritional resource in an LP.  There are 3 variables-- X, Y, and Z.  The resource constraint is a nutritional requirement for iron in a diet.  It states that each unit of each variable contributes a percentage of iron to a diet.  The percentages are 0.35, 0.25, and 0.35 for the variables X, Y, and Z, respectively.  The iron required, as a fraction or the total content of X, Y, and Z, must be at least 0.65. 

Convert these relationships into a constraint with variables on the LHS and a constant on the RHS. 

1. The RHS is (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6?)
2. The coefficient of X is (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6?)
3. The coefficient of Y is (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6?)
4. The coefficient of Z is (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6?)
5. The form of the expression that separates the LHS and RHS is "=". (True or False)
