Problema Solution
A privately owned lake contains two types of fish: bass and trout. The owner provides two types of food, A and B, for these fish. Trout require 4 units of food A and 5 units of food B, and bass requires 10 units of food A and 4 units of food B. If the owner has 1600 units of food A and 1000 units of food B,Find the maximum number of fish that the lake can support.

Solution
Trout = 1600 units of Food A/ 4 = 400
Bass = 1000 units of Food B/ 4 = 250
Since trout requires the least amount of food A, and bass requires the least amount of food B, divide amount of food by food required by the respective fish.
