2/3 a minus 1/6 equals 1/3 please

a = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 2/3 a = (1/3) + (1/6)

=> 2/3 a = 1/2

=> a = (1/2) / (2/3)

=> a = 3/4

Hope this helps!

8x + 6y >/= 48 ......1

x + 2y >/= 12 .......2

The cost function is given as;

C = 0.05x + 0.03y .........3

The minimum cost is $0.24 at (0,8)

That is 0 ounces of oats and 8 ounces of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of ounces of oats

And y represent the number of ounces of rice

For Vitamin A

Minimum requirements = 48mg

x ounces of oats contribute 8mg × x

y ounces of Rice contribute 6mg × y

Therefore, we have;

8x + 6y >/= 48 ......1

For Vitamin B

Minimum requirements = 12mg

x ounces of oats contribute 1mg × x

y ounces of Rice contribute 2mg × y

Therefore, we have;

x + 2y >/= 12 .......2

The cost function is given as;

C = 0.05x + 0.03y .........3

Attached is the graphical representation.

The feasible points are (x,y) = (0,8),(2.4,4.8),(12,0)

The minimum cost is determined by substituting each point into the cost function

For (0,8)

C= 0.05(0) + 0.03(8)

C = $0.24

For (12,0)

C= 0.60

For (2.4,4.8)

C= $0.264

The minimum cost is $0.24 at (0,8)
