Question

A grey turtle lays an average of 10 eggs. If the number of eggs laid never varies from the average by more than five, what is the least number of eggs that would be laid by six turtles?

Answer 1

Number of eggs never varies from the average by more than five => the least number that each turtle lays can be 5 => the least number of eggs laid by 6 turtles: 5 (minimum eggs) x 6 (turtles) = 30(eggs)
