An industrial bakery produces two kinds of bread. A loaf of wheat bread weighs 0.8 kg and a loaf of rye bread weighs 1.1 kg . One day, the bakery produces 4680 loaves of bread weighing a total of 4332.1 kg . Use the matrix inverse to determine how many loaves of each type the bakery produced. Part A Set up your linear system so that wheat bread is represented in the first column (variable) and the number of loaves is represented in the first row (equation). Compute the inverse of this system's coefficient matrix, rounding two decimal places. \[ \begin{array}{l} C^{-1}=M=\left[\begin{array}{ll} M_{11} & M_{12} \\ M_{21} & M_{22} \end{array}\right] \\ M_{11}= \\ M_{12}= \\ M_{21}= \\ M_{22}= \end{array} \] Part B The factory produced \( \square \) loaves of wheat bread and \( \square \) loaves of rye bread.

Solve each exercise by using the inverse of the coefficient matrix to solve a system of equations. Analysis of Orders The Bread Box Bakery sells three types of cakes, each requiring the amounts of the basic ingredients shown in the following matrix. To fill its daily orders for these three kinds of cake, the bakery uses 72 cups of flour, 48 cups of sugar, and 60 eggs. a. Write a $3 \times 1$ matrix for the amounts used daily. b. Let the number of daily orders for cakes be a $3 \times 1$ matrix $X$ with entries $x_{1}, x_{2},$ and $x_{3} .$ Write a matrix equation that can be solved for $X,$ using the given matrix and the matrix from part a. c. Solve the equation from part b to find the number of daily orders for each type of cake.

Write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. A food drive collected two different types of canned goods, green beans and kidney beans. The total number of collected cans was 350 and the total weight of all donated food was 348 lb, 12 oz. If the green bean cans weigh 2 oz less than the kidney bean cans, how many of each can was donated?
