In the earlier Lesson Activity, you found the sizes of mesoplankton and jellyfish. In this activity, you’ll determine the most appropriate units for measuring the sizes of mesoplankton and jellyfish. Part A
Earlier, you found the size of a mesoplankton to be 2 × 10-2 meter. Do you think that meters are the most appropriate unit to represent the size of a mesoplankton? If not, what do you think would be the most appropriate unit? Write the size of a mesoplankton in the most appropriate unit.

Part B
You also found the size of a jellyfish to be 2 meters. Do you think that meters is the most appropriate unit to represent the size of a jellyfish? If not, what do you think would be the most appropriate unit? Write the size of the jellyfish in the most appropriate unit.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i. e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
