Answer:

Explanation:

In linear programming, decision variables represent unknown quantities that we want to determine. There are 6 ingredients and 7 products in this problem.

To determine the number of decision variables, we need to consider the number of variables associated with each ingredient and product.

Each ingredient can have a decision variable representing the amount of that ingredient used to make each product. Since there are 6 ingredients, each product will have 6 decision variables associated with it. So the total number of decision variables in the linear programming formulation of this problem is

6 components × 7 products = 42 decision variables.
