If the minimum daily requirements are 400 units of calcium, 240 units of iron, and 280 units of vitamin A, find how many ounces of each food should be used to meet the minimum daily requirements and at the same time minimize cholesterol intake?
What will be an ideal response?
16 oz of A, 4 oz of B, 4 oz of C gives minimum cholesterol intake of 488 units.
