The Munchies Cereal Company makes a cereal from several ingredients. Two of the ingredients, oats and rice, provide vitamins A and B. The company wants to know how many ounces of oats and rice it 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 vitamin B, whereas an ounce of rice contributes

Minimum cost and vitamins are achieved at $0.24.

Explanation:

Two equations

8x + 6y = 48

x + 2y = 12

Cost function

C = 0.05x + 0.03y

Minimum cost is $0.24.

which is achieved at 0 ounces of oat and 8 ounces of rice

Vitamin A

8x + 6y - 48

Vitamin B

x + 2y = 12

Put these equations on a graph

C= 0.05 {0} + 0.03 {8}

C= $0.24

Thus the minimum cost and vitamins are achieved at $0.24.

for me i would

1.   break up the project into simpler tasks

2. prioritize the tasks

3. create an action plan

4. create a schedule

5. delegate work

this would be logical sequence, because:

1.   i need to know what the simple tasks are

2. i need to know which ones need to be done in order of importance

3. make a plan to get everything done in the correct order

4. set up the times and days for completion

5. hand out tasks to other to get it all done.
