Today we are looking at the Exercise 5: Linear Programming Problems hand out. Mr.Maks went through the question 1 and Mr. Maks helped us step up question 4 for us to try ourselves. We are to try any 2 of the questions from page D-10, which is questions 5-12. Mr.Maks will go through them in the next couple of days and sometime next week we will probably have a quiz on solving Linear Programming Problems
