A company produces individual resistors and transistors as well as computer chips. Each set of resistors requires 2 units of copper, 2 units of zinc, and 1 unit of glass to manufacture. Each set of transistors requires 3 units of copper, 3 units of zinc and 2 units of glass. Each set of computer chips requires 2 units of copper, 1 unit of zinc, and 3 units of glass. If there are 150 units of copper, 110 units of zinc, and 160 units of glass available, how many sets of resistors, transistors, and computer chips should the company manufacture to use all of its available supplies or raw materials? how many resistors, transistors and computer chips?
