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 1200 units of each food, find the maximum number of fish that the lake can support.

Answer: the maximum number of fish that the lake can support = 375 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and t represent the bass and trout fish respectively.

Given that;

i. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B

ii. trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B

iii. the owner has 1200 units of each food

For food A

2b + 5t = 1200 ....eqn1

For food B

4b + 2t = 1200 ....eqn2

Solving the simultaneous equation

Multiplying eqn1 by 2. We have;

4b + 10t = 2400 .....eqn3

Subtract eqn2 from eqn3

4b-4b +10t-2t = 2400-1200

8t = 1200

t = 1200/8

t = 150

Substituting t= 150 into eqn1

2b + 5(150) = 1200

2b = 1200 - 750 = 450

b = 450/2 = 225

Therefore, the total number of fish is given as

t + b = 150 + 225 = 375

225 bass and 150 trout

Do even numbers have more factors in odd numbers or do i numbers have more factors than even numbers
Serggg [28]
<span>It is because even numbers always have a factor of two, and therefore, larger composite even numbers will have factors of two and other even numbers based around two, such as 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on. On the other hand, numbers which are odd can have factors of 3, 5, and 7 for example, and their numbers based around them(3, 9, 27; 5, 10, 15; 7, 49, 343; and so on). If we look into it, notice how for odd numbers the space between the numbers based around 3, 5, and 7 are increasingly further apart. This is the reason why less large odd integers to have numerous factors. It is because odd numbers cannot have the prime factor 2, this will reduce their factor number. And is is also because even numbers are already divided by 2, this will give them more factors over the odd numbers.</span>
