Alliance Cannery received an order for 384 cans of food. The order can be made up of a combination of cans of fruit, which are processed at a rate of 24 cans per minute, and cans of vegetables, which are processed at a rate of 64 cans per minute.

x = number of minutes for fruit cans

y = number of minutes for vegetable cans

Which of the linear equations expresses the situation?

3x + 8y = 384

24x + 64y = 384

64x + 24y = 384

24x + 64y + 384 = 0
