What is Linear Programming ? When was it developed and Why? How was this beneficial to the time? You should write at least two paragraphs. ANYTHING LESS WILL GET A LOWER GRADE

Linear Programming is a method to successfully achieve the most best outcome in a mathematical model with the requirements that are represented by linear relationships. A special case of mathematical programming.
Linear Programming was developed in the 1940’s which was made to obtain the most optimal solution for a problem with given constraints. This was beneficial to the time because it was a mathematical technique that determined the best ways to use available resources. Which some used to help make the decisions about money, time, materials, and machinery.

Hope this helped you! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

number of ounces = n

number of pounds = p

There are 16 ounces in 1 pounds (unite rate: 1 pounds = 16 ounces)

Therefore, there would be n ounces in p pounds

Set a proportion to find n.

16 : 1 = n : p

Multiply both sides by p
