hm

Vocaloid:

I guess I would start with 1 nutrient at a time, ex. calcium

Vocaloid:

if A = spoons of A and B = spoons of B then for calcium: 5A + 4B >= 24

Vocaloid:

if we look at answer choice 1 then: 5(1) + 4(4) = 21 miligrams of calcium so answer choice 1 is out

smithm29:

ok

Vocaloid:

answer choice 2: 5(1) + 4(5) = 25 so choice 2 MIGHT be an answer (we don't know for sure yet)

Vocaloid:

answer choice 3: 5(2) + 4(3) = 22 so this doesn't work, 3 is out

Vocaloid:

answer choice 4: 5(3) + 4(2) = 23 so this doesn't work, 4 is out

smithm29:

so is it 1 & 2

Vocaloid:

scroll up and look carefully at what I wrote

Vocaloid:

answer choice 5: 5(4) + 4(1) = 24 so answer choice 5 MIGHT be an answer (we still need to check)

Vocaloid:

we have choices 2 and 5 left, now we must test with the next nutrient (iron)

Vocaloid:

for iron: 4A + 6B >= 15

Vocaloid:

answer choice 2: 4(1) + 6(5) = 34 so answer 2 MIGHT work (we still need to check the next nutrient)

smithm29:

vitamins ok

Vocaloid:

answer choice 5: 4(4) + 6(1) = 22 so answer 5 MIGHT work (we still need to check the next nutrient)

Vocaloid:

for vitamins: 7A + 4B >= 16

Vocaloid:

answer choice 2: 7(1) + 4(5) = 27 so answer 2 MUST be one of the choices

Vocaloid:

answer choice 5: 7(4) + 4(1) = 32 so 5 must also be a choice

Vocaloid:

so in the end I get 2 and 5 as your answer
