Math Problem Statement
do row operations. A dietitian at a hospital wants a patient to have a meal that has 106 grams of protein, 63 grams of carbohydrates, and 115 milligrams of vitamin A. The hospital food service tells the dietitian that the dinner for today is salmon steak, baked eggs, and acorn squash. Each serving of salmon steak has 40 grams of protein, 20 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 milligram of vitamin A. Each serving of baked eggs contains 20 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrates, and 20 milligrams of vitamin A. Each serving of acorn squash contains 3 grams of protein, 20 grams of carbohydrates, and 27 milligrams of vitamin A. How many servings of each food should the dietitian provide for the patient? Question content area bottom Part 1 How many servings of each food should the dietitian provide? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice. A. The dietitian should provide enter your response here salmon steak (x), enter your response here baked eggs (y), and enter your response here acorn squash (z). (Simplify your answers.) B. There are an infinite number of combinations of servings of salmon steak (x), baked eggs (y), and acorn squash (z) that the dietitian can provide. Using ordered triplets, the solution can be written as {(x,y,z) | xequals enter your response here, yequals enter your response here, z is any real number}. (Simplify your answers. Type expressions using z as the variable as needed.) C. There are no combinations of servings of each food that the dietitian can provide.
