a) how many hens does she have ?
b) if every hens lays 9 eggs on Monday how many eggs will farmer Jim collect on Monday
Answer:
a) 240 hens
b) 2160 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Farmer Jim keeps 12 hens in every cooper if farmer Jim has 20 coops
Hence,
1 coop = 12 hens
20 coops = y hens
Cross Multiply
y hens = 20 coops × 12 hens/1 coop
y hens = 240 hens
Therefore Farmer Jim has 240 hens
b) We are told in question b that: if every hens lays 9 eggs on Monday how many eggs will farmer Jim collect on Monday?
From question a) we determine that the number of hens that Farmer Jim has:
240 hens
Hence,
1 hen = 9 eggs
240 hens = z eggs
z eggs = 240 hens × 9 eggs/1 hen
z eggs = 2160 eggs
Therefore, on Monday Farmer Jim will collect 2160 eggs
