Your pet bunny, Oscar, has two types of rabbit food. Food A gives Oscar 1% of his daily protein per gram of food and is his favourite food. Food B has 3% of Oscar's daily protein per gram of food but he doesn't like it very much. You want to mix the foods so Oscar will get enough protein while still enjoying his food.
