Chapter 12, Problem 26P

Electrical Engineering

An electrical engineer supervises the production of three types of electrical components. Three kinds of material-metal, plastic, and rubber-are required for production. The amounts needed to produce each component are

Component	Metal, g/component	Plastic, g/component	Rubber, g/component
1	15	0.30	1.0
2	17	0.40	.2
3	19	0.55	1.5

If totals of 3.89, 0.095, and 0.282 kg of metal, plastic, and rubber, respectively, are available each day, how many components can be produced per day?
