A privately owned lake contains two types of game fish, bass and trout. The owner provides two types of food, A and B, for these fish. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B, and trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B. If the owner has 400 units of each food, find the maximum number of fish the lake can support.

133 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Units of food A = 400 units

Units of food B = 400 units

Fish Bass required 2 units of A and 4 units of B.

Fish Trout requires 5 units of A and 2 units of B.

i. For food A,

total units of food A required = 2 + 5

                                                 = 7 units

number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 2 x

                                               = 114.3

number of bass and trout that would consume food A = 114

ii. For food B,

total units of food B required = 4 + 2

                                                = 6 units

number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 2 x

                                                 = 133.3

number of bass and trout that would consume food B = 133

Thus, the maximum number of fish that the lake can support is 133.
