Linear programming model
Two of the ingredients, oats and rice provide A & B. The company wants to
know how many ounces of oats andd rice should include in each box of cereal to
meet the minimum requirements of 48 milligrams of vitamin A and 12 milligrams
of vitamin B while minimizing cost. An ounce of oats contributes 8 milligrams
of vitamin A and 1 milligram of B, whereas an ounce of rice contributes 6
milligrams of A and 2 milligrams of B. An ounce of oats cost $0.05, and an
ounce of rice costs $0.03.
a. Formulate a linear programming model
b. Solve this model using a grid line
