In a laboratory experiment, two separate foods are given to experimental animals. Each food contains essential ingredients, A and B, for which the animals have a minimum requirement, and each food also has an ingredient C, which can be harmful to the animals. The table below summarizes this information.
Determine how many grams of foods 1 and 2 should be given in order to satisfy the requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C ingested. Also determine the minimum amount of ingredient C ingested. Round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.
A) 11 grams of food 1 and 0 gram0 of food 2 satisfy the minimum requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C to 11 grams.
B) 0 gram0 of food 1 and 11 grams of food 2 satisfy the minimum requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C to 11 grams.
C) 12 grams of food 1 and 0 gram0 of food 2 satisfy the minimum requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C to 60 grams.
D) 1 gram0 of food 1 and 11 grams of food 2 satisfy the minimum requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C to 16 grams.
E) 2 grams of food 1 and 11 grams of food 2 satisfy the minimum requirements for A and B while minimizing the amount of ingredient C to 21 grams.
