The Munchies Cereal Company makes a cereal from severalingredients. Two of the ingredients, oats and rice, provideVitamins A and B. The company wants to know how many ounces of oatsand rice it should include in each box of cereal to meet theminimum requirements of 48 milligrams of vitamin A and 12milligrams of vitamin B while minimizing cost. An ounce of oatscontributes 8 milligrams of vitamin A and 1 milligram of vitamin B,whereas an ounce of rice contributes 6 milligrams of A and 2milligrams of B. An ounce of oats costs $0.05, and an ounce of ricecosts $0.03.
