Aluminum alloys are made by adding other elements to aluminum to improve its properties, such as hardness or tensile strength. The following table shows the composition of five commonly used alloys, which are known by their alloy numbers (2024, 6061, and so on) [Kutz, 1999]. Obtain a matrix algorithm to compute the amounts of raw materials needed to produce a given amount of each alloy. Use MATLAB to determine how much raw material of each type is needed to produce 1000 tons of each alloy.
