A rabbit farm raises two breeds. Breed\,X gains on average \(30\)\,g per day and has a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of \(3.5\)\,kg feed per kg gain. Breed\,Y gains \(45\)\,g per day with an FCR of \(4.2\). The farm has \(150\)\,kg of feed available per day. Due to appetite limits, Breed\,X can receive at most \(80\)\,kg of feed per day and Breed\,Y at most \(100\)\,kg. How should the feed be allocated between the two breeds to maximise total daily live‑weight gain? Give the feed amounts for Breed\,X and Breed\,Y (in kilograms, one decimal place).
