Max is in a pie eating contest that lasts 1 hour. Each torte that he eats takes 2 minutes. Each apple pie that he eats takes 3 minutes. He receives 4 points for each torte and 5 points for each pie. What should Max eat so as to get the most points.
Could anyone formulate the constraints?

Thanks in advance.

@hba : Could you formulate this one?

Think of it this way...
How many points would he get in 6 minutes of eating only torte?
What about 6 minutes of eating only apple pie?

Can you write down the equation? I have the equation with me but I'm bit confused

terenzreignz · Answer

I'm afraid that was all intuitive; I didn't come up with any equation :(

anonymous · Answer

Oh okaay..Thanks. I know the answer but I'm confused with one equation...:P

anonymous · Answer

I don't understand the question.. Wish I could help, told you i wasn't smart):

anonymous · Answer

It's okay JJ. THanks..:)

anonymous · Answer

Okay(:

anonymous · Answer

T= number of torte
A = number of apple pies
N = total numbers of points
so equation 1 :

2T + 3A = 60 ( this is the time equation in minutes also the constrain)

second equation is : 

4T + 5A = N

@rvelez33 : Thanks. I wrote the something similar Actualy it should be 2T+3A<=60

But in the text it's given as 2T+3A <=24..:(
