Plain cookies require 1 pound of cookie dough to make (per dozen), as well as .1 hours (per dozen). Iced cookies use .7 pounds of cookie dough and .4 pounds of icing (per dozen) as well as .15 hours to make (per dozen). So when you combine the two of those you end up with these constraints: Oven Space Available P + I ≤ 140 Amount of Cookie Dough Available P + .7I ≤ 110 Amount of Icing Available I ≤ 80 Preparation Time Available P + 1.5I ≤ 150 Those formula’s I used to create the constraints with are called equivalent inequalities. An equivalent inequality means that there is a number of different answers to a problem not just one. Such as the problem X < 5 means that any number less than 5 would be a correct solution.
