Math Problem Statement
In the Low Knock Oil Company blending problem, it is assumed that 46% of the crude oil turns into gasoline, and other products such as diesel, jet fuel, home fuel oil, and asphalt are produced from the same barrel. Modify the original linear programming model to account for this change and solve it using any computer software.
