Duckwheat is produced in Kansas and Mexico and consumed in New York and California. Kansas produces 15 shnupells of duckwheat and Mexico 8. Meanwhile, New York consumes 10 shnupells and California 13. The transportation costs per shnupell are $4 from Mexico to New York, $1 from Mexico to California, $2 from Kansas to New York, and $3 from Kansas to California.

Write a linear program that decides the amounts of duckwheat (in shnupells and fractions of a shnupell) to be transported from each producer to each consumer, so as to minimize the overall transportation cost.
