Nutrition   Use duality to answer the following application. Oz makes lion food out of giraffe and gazelle meat. Giraffe meat has 14 grams of protein and 28 grams of fat per pound, while gazelle meat has 28 grams of protein and 14 grams of fat per pound. A batch of lion food must contain at least 19,600 grams of protein and 29,400 grams of fat. Giraffe meat costs $2 per pound and gazelle meat costs $4 per pound. How many pounds of each should go into each batch of lion food in order to minimize costs? (giraffe meat, gazelle meat) =          lb What are the shadow costs of protein and fat? protein$ per gfat$ per g
