Hi, here is the version for a thickness of 15 cons = a*1 + b*2 + c*3 + d*4 + e*7 == thick NMinimize[ Evaluate[{a + b + c + d + e, cons /. thick -> 15, a >= 0 && b >= 0 && c >= 0 && d >= 0 && a >= 0 && e >= 0 && Element[{a, b, c, d, e}, Integers]}], {a, b, c, d, e}] Regards Jens "Erb, John" <jerb at saint-lukes.org> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:d9r4sh$55f$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello, > > On a given occasion, I wish to create different > thicknesses of a > material, ranging > say, for example, from 1 cm to 25 cm, in > increments of 1 cm. > > How can I, using Mathematica, determine the > minimum number > of sheets of material I need? > The material comes in thicknesses of 1, 2, 3, 4, > & 7 cm. > > Thank you, > John C.
