Question

If 3 hens lay 3 eggs in 3 days, how many eggs are laid in 12 days by 3 hens?? (daily brain puzzle)

Answer 1

Answer:

12 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 hens lay 3 eggs in 3 days.

Since a group of 3 hens laid in 3 days = 3 eggs

The group of 3 hens laid in 1 day =  $\frac{3}{3}$ eggs

The group of 3 hens laid in 12 days =  $\frac{3}{3}\times 12$

                                                           =  $\frac{36}{3}$

                                                           = 12 eggs.

12 eggs were laid in 12 days by 3 hens.

Answer 2

This is very simple. You have 3 hens. They lay 3 eggs over 3 days. Well, make this easier on yourself. 1 egg=1 day. 

So, the answer would definitely be 12 days from 3 hens=12 eggs.

Unless of course, the question was implying the 3 hens lay 3 eggs EACH, over 3 days. Meaning by the 3 day period, you'd have 9 eggs, meaning one hen lays 3 eggs in 3 days.

So, multiply 9*4, since 3*4=12
9*4=36, so by the 12 day period you'd have 36 eggs, but this is only if the question is implying EACH

If not, then the answer is 12 eggs.
