Answer:
we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.
Explanation:
let x be the ounces of feed 1
let y be the ounces of feed 2
according to the information we have following inequalities
Fat grams:
Carb grams:
Protein grams:
Total food:
for cost we have
C = 0.20x + 0.30y
Thus, we have the limitation of:
plotting all inequalities we have found pentagon with following points
(0,5)
C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(5) = 1.50
(0,4)
C = 0.20(0) + 0.30(4) = 1.20
(1,2)
C = 0.20(1) + 0.30(2) = 0.80
(3,0)
C = 0.20(3) + 0.30(0) = 0.60
(5,0)
C = 0.20(5) + 0.30(0) = 1.00
Thus, we have minimize cost by feeding the rabbits 3 ounces of feed 1 and 0 ounces of feed 2.
