Kellogg's Inc makes Fruit Loops 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 put in each box of cereal to meet Canada food guide requirements of at-least 8 mg of vitamin A and no more than 27 mg of Vitamin B per box while minimizing cost. Kellogg's would also like limit the number of ounces of Rice in a box of Fruit Loops to no more then 3 ounces (otherwise it will taste to much like Rice Krispies). An ounce of oats has

2 mg of vitamin A and 9 mg of vitamin B while an ounce of rice has 2 mg of Vitamin A and 3 mg of Vitamin B An ounce of oats costs $0.0l and an ounce of rice costs $0.05
