Answer:

The answer to a) is 13 dozens; answer to b) is 11 dozens, and answer to c) is 15 dozens

Explanation:

Let eggs be x and Milk be y

Eleanor =15x or 5y

Sister =2x or 2y

Eleanor 15x=5y; i.e. y=3x

Sister 2x=2y; i.e. x=y

a) Each collected 1 gallon of milk

Meaning Eleanor had 4 more gallons to collect and each gallon is equivalent to 3 dozens

So she gathered 4*3=12 dozens of eggs

The sister gathered 1 dozen of eggs  

Totals =12+1=13 dozens.

b) If they specialize:

Eleanor to collect milk 2 gallons

Time to collect the remaining 3 gallons be spend for eggs i.e. 3*3 = 9 dozens

Sister spend time in collecting eggs i.e. 2 dozens  

Total =2+9=11dozens

c) If the sister specializes in collecting milk

She will collect milk only while Eleanor will gather eggs alone i.e. 15 dozens

Hence, Eleanor should specialize in eggs.

The family will have 15 dozens at the end of the week.
