files.mw

From art of problem solving ws: "Jamal wants to save 30 files onto disks, each with 1.44 MB space. 3 of the files take up 0.8 MB, 12 of the files take up 0.7 MB, and the rest take up 0.4 MB. It is not possible to split a file onto 2 different disks. What is the smallest number of disks needed to store all 30 files?"

The answer is 13: 3*[0.4,0.8]+6*[0.7,0.7]+4*[0.4,0.4,0.4]

How to accomplish this in maple? my attempt doesnt work, unsurprisingly...

howdy.

evalf(map(log10,[25,5,1,10,4,20]))=

[1.39794000867203, .698970004336017, 0., 1., .602059991327960, 1.30102999566398]

How do I reverse this process , ie get back [25,5,1,10,4,20] using map command. Obviously it's 10 to the power but map(10^,[1.39794000867203, .698970004336017, 0., 1., .602059991327960, 1.30102999566398]) won't work

Hello. As you can see the minimum of set X is 2.

the time pair in set W whose difference is 2 corresponds to elements 54 and 55. How do i locate and print these automatically?
